“National Guard Sgt. Caitlin Kelley, who was seriously injured by Eduardo Sencion in the Sept. 6 rampage, said the mass shooting has made her furious about gun laws.
“I can’t imagine why we are even selling assault rifles to civilians,” said Kelley, who now must use a wheelchair after being shot in the foot. “There’s no reason for an AK-47 or an M-16 or an M-4 to be in a civilian’s home.”.......”
A Sgt in the Army does not understand the difference between an M16 and an AR15? Sign, just what is our Army coming to?
The femSgt is wrong on the 2nd amendment, but right on the weapons nomenclature. The weapon used was a full-auto AK -- which classes it with the AK47, M-16 and M4 -- which are select-fire assault rifles (properly so classed).
Of course, those of us who choose to live 'way out in the boonies would prefer to have at least one assault rifle (select fire) at hand for each trained defender -- instead of the semi-clicko Brady bunch- mislabeled "assault weapons" to which the current infringements now limit us.
"Police protection"? With the Sheriff's office at least twenty miles away? Not even a bad joke...
Female, probably a clerk of some sort. Last time she fired a weapon was probably in basic.
“A Sgt in the Army does not understand the difference between an M16 and an AR15? Sigh, just what is our Army coming to?”
Well, we adpoted the 9mm handgun because lil female hands had a difficult time with the 1911 .45ACP.
So, the answer must be, a kinder, gentler, feminized and probably soon to be more queer Army.
PS One that doesn’t know guns all that well, from the quote from Sgt. Caitlin.
