Retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal called for “serious” gun control measures on Tuesday, saying the weapons used by his troops in Afghanistan don’t belong on the streets of America. McChrystal said the M4 Carbine he often carried in the military held a .223 caliber round capable of doing “devastating” damage to a human body.

“It’s designed to do that, and that’s what our soldiers ought to carry,” McChrystal said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Tuesday morning. “I personally don’t think there’s any need for that kind of weaponry on the streets and particularly around the schools in America."

So now a .223 is just to powerful for us? Really? This is barely powerful enough to shoot prairie dogs. Not enough for large game, elk, bear, ect. and now it's WAY to scary powerful for civilians? He would really hate my .330 Dakota.... Mods- I had to shorten the title.

Most troopers coming back from the sand box that I’ve talked to would like to have something with a bit more oomph than the 5.56.

Just another asswipe who used the military for job security and the pension.

“...weapons used by his troops...don’t belong on the streets of America.”

Except of course when they are used by the government to disarm civilians.

Thanks for your service General. Now shut up and remember we are not led by the military and soldiers do not make policy. I am glad to see that professional military types recognize the threat an armed population represents.

I personally think a lot of things. The Constitution restates that I have a God given right to be armed against tyrants who like to enforce their personal opinions on others.

If he is frightened by the .223, he is going to truly pee himself over the rest of my rifles.

No, they belong in the home.

“.....saying the weapons used by his troops in Afghanistan don’t belong on the streets of America......”

Of course he doesn’t add that the weapons his troops carry are autos, and therefore are already banned from the streets of America.

What a traitor.

“I personally don’t think there’s any need for that kind of weaponry on the streets and particularly around the schools in America.”

1. It is a “Bill of Rights”, not a “Bill of Needs”.

2. No one cares what you think and you are just insuring that the people who might buy you little book won’t.

That is some funny stuff right there. A guy that never lived a day in his adult life as a civilian telling us how civilians should live.
