Should we offer more ideas here?
Only if it's below 25,000 ft.
Well, like gosh, dude — perhaps a .223 Remington or a 7.62x39 bullet can shoot down an airplane on your planet, but not here in the real world. You really need to stop doing that blow [cocaine], Rev. You’re getting a little wacky. Spend more time with the mistress and your love child in California on the Rainbow PUSH nickel, Jesse.
Is that right?
When I was in Army basic training in 1968 we were taught not to bother shooting at aircraft, and we were training with M-14s.
Marble mouthed moron.
I think the Tuscon shooter was also a registered democrat.
We had one night of tracer firing during my training, so it was interesting to read about how tracers would be used to adjust aiming points for aircraft.
My recollection is that the guidance I was given NOT to bother firing at aircraft was addressing the individual soldier. The manual makes it clear that you need to create a high volume of fire to have a decent chance of success, meaning that an entire squad should engage simultaneously.
Here we go again . . .
DANG!
PING!
PING!
AIRPLANE ASSAULT STICK
> That is my thought exactly...where are the news people hammering back. I am so sick of this crap.
And the liberals will believe it because everything and anything is possible online in computer games and Hollywood media and because they don’t get out enough to experience reality. Red pill or blue pill mentality.
> Yes, you can bring down a small aircraft with small arms fire, including a AR-15. It is still part of Army doctrine for active air defense measures. Im not supporting his pov, just bringing up that fact.
But seriously how often do you hear about this occurring? And I would think it would require some training and at close range.

A big difference when you bring this into context. Individual soldier; highly doubtful
> Registered Democrat
I think the Tuscon shooter was also a registered democrat.
Need to start compiling a list of as many horrific shootings by registered Democrats and liberals and publish it all over the Internet and shame them. Use their own Alinsky tactics against them.
Check out this article I got in an email today.
Gun Violence is Not a Republican Problem, Its a Democratic Problem
Finally. Someone using the media to fight back effectively. We need to see more articles written like this. Facts and figures (real; not imagined or made up by the left) are something both sides can understand.
After reading that article I think it’s clear; Democrats / Liberals / Progressives, whatever you want to call ‘em should not be allowed to buy, possess, or own guns due to their mental state of mind...lol
