That's kind of how I figured it too. There's too many outlets set up to tell you what you want to hear and what you don't.

And yeah misinformation is so widespread. "AR-15" was trending on Twitter last night and I browsed around a bit before I quit out of disappointment. This one guy was like "why does a civilian need such a large caliber" and it's just like what? .223 is loving tiny caliber

even then large calibers are good to have because even though real life isn't like The Division where you fire at an attacker for five minutes and then he decides to fall over dead, sometimes attackers are so big that they can be shot with smaller bullets and still keep going

does that make owning a .50 cal machine gun reasonable? no
does that mean we should ban anything above pea-shooting levels? also no

Of course, but even the cartridge as a whole is fairly small.

People seem to be under the impression that these big bad """military style assault weapons""" shoot these heavy duty """military strength bullets""" but of course anyone who knows guns can tell you the reality is that even popular civilian hunting cartridges are more powerful than a .223
Tayasaurus:
Civilian hunting rifles can blow your forgetin head off yeah
