***** “Oh! Stop it!...Does anyone know the theory of why .223 M-16 replaced 7.62 (long round) M-14 in Viet Nam??” ******

Don’t know what the “OFFICIAL” theory is but I do know you could carry the lighter M-16 a lot further, along with a lot more ammo and then there is the “Spray and Pray” Tactic.

I wish I could buy an M-14 off the shelf... (that was my favorite Rifle).

TT

Lott was stating facts, facts she did not want to hear, and all she could say was he SHOULDN’T have that gun...he SHOULDN’T have that gun. Well, Honey, he did... If one teacher had been armed many more kids would still be alive. Someone SHOULD have shot his ass.

You’re kidding, right?

‘Harvard has a 98% graduation rate. Once accepted (for whatever reason), it's more of a challenge not to graduate.’

BINGO, We have a winner.

HAAAAARVAAARD is a BS School populated with future Kings of the World who are mental midgets shoehorned in by legacy
(Think the entire Kennedy Clan), Affirmative Action candidates better suited for the local Community College (Think O’Bumbler and his Beast wife), and those who are truly gifted with intellect, about 20% of the undergraduates.

The key to Harvard and all its’ promise of future glory is in getting admitted. Once you are in, you are set for life. It is a way for the elites to STAY elite.

I agree, but it also must be said that Semi-Auto and Auto matic weapons are a 19th century technology. Any metal worker with access to a reasonably decent set of tools can mill and create a rapid fire Auto or Semi-Auto rifle in no time at all, and mass produce it if he so desires.

The most prominent platform for Semi-Auto pistols is the Colt 1911, that is more than 100 years old and is virtually unchanged since John Browning developed it. The AK 47 is DAMN near 70 years old, the modern ‘Assault Rifle, IS 70 years old and developed in Germany during WW II.

The Genie is out of the bottle and any CRIMINAL could get hold of one if he wants one. All gun laws do is to prevent the law abiding, IE: GOOD GUYS, from having the protection offered by one. ALSO there are an estimated 250-300 MILLION firearms in private citizens hands in the U.S.A., How are you going to get rid of all of them?

Perhaps that tells us something about Harvard.

“Ms” O’brien is the ultimate Affirmative Action hire

She is unqualified and racist to her core

Her sole “qualification” is her “diverse” ethnicity

It shows how help is only minutes away. This is a massive tragedy, a 200 pound man could throw a rock through a tempered glass door amble into almost ANY school building in this country and kill dozens of children with a razor blade and there is almost nothing that could be done about it.

There is no stopping evil except to engage it with greater force and fire power. .

Penn & Teller eviscerate gun control in an episode of Bull****. Caution - some foul language.

What is it about the Springfield Armory M1A that doesn't satisfy your craving?

more people die in car accidents than gun crime, yet we bailed out GM with billions we’ll never get back. many of those killed by guns are also criminals shot by law -abiding people defending themselves.

Lott said that Germany had three of the five worst public shootings in the world. And Germany has extremely strict gun control laws. "Yet they've had a worse record," Lott said. "I don't argue Second Amendment, I argue crime," Lott said.

Good for Lott. Sad that liberals can't hear any voice but they're own...
