U.S. consumers may have access to almost immediately. When that happens, America’s emergency rooms better be prepared for the carnage that’s likely to follow.

...because criminals haven't been able to engage in "carnage" with the firearms they have now.

Not to mention that if you’re using a semi-auto or even a full-auto, those ejected casings can burn a little bit if they happen to find their way down your shirt.

Or between the glasses and eyeball.

[KoRn]

Yeah lol

He actually still feels bad about that to this day. Even though it didn’t, he says that his disengaging from the firefight at the time COULD have caused some of his guys to die. I suppose that’s true, but you aren’t worth much to your team if you just sit there and burn. lol

[Still Thinking]

Why? Is the Army going to buy some P.O.S. that's likely to blow up?

Under Obama ROE and crony "capitalism"?? Are you kidding me? It's probably specced on the RFQ.

Yup. Glasses flyin’ off tryin’ to get that hot brass off those chubby cheeks.

Two of the things a grunt learned were, stay away from the RTO and the M-60 operator, they had a tendency to draw fire and thus shorten your life span.

I went to a one day class at Front Sight a few years back and some gal, thinking she was Rambette, came all dressed in black/white/grey camo with a matching tank top. A few 9mm spent casings from an Uzi found their way to an uncomfortable location. ow, ow, ow, ow.

Lets send our soldiers into battle with pointy sticks instead.

That's so old fashioned and potentially violent. They need mediation training and how to do community outreach.

[Still Thinking]

That must be one of those ridiculously-high cap mags the left is always going on about!

[BenLurkin]

I will gladly buy her ammo if she will come over and ....uh...clean the toilets.

[Big Red Badger]

I could watch that all Day!

You’re right and, in addition, semi-auto handguns have been available since very early in the 20th century... namely, the Browning Hi-Power, the Luger and the Mauser.

Edit: And, the Colt 1911.

What an odd picture. I guess that clown with his cardboard sign doesn’t want to write poetry, learn to play the guitar or paint pictures of bowls of fruit. But what the heck is going on in the background near that blue car? LOL!

Many women and many men think they have to wear a different costume for every activity. Look at all the otherwise masculine seeming men who dress up like exotic insects to go bike riding or wear baggy pajamas to go for a walk.
