Being one with prior convictions of possession with intent to deliver along with so-called UUWs (unlawful use of weapons) and being 27 years cocaine-clean and crack-free, I can attest and bear witness firsthand to the fact that nothing exceeds like excess, often resulting in far too many addictive and fatal accounts.
With the high number and epidemic proportions of heroin-related and opioid deaths, I don't think anyone would be quick to suggest that heroin doesn't kill, people do.
From the 59 people killed in Las Vegas to the 500 slayings on the streets of Chicago this year through September, many suggest that said deaths and such excess can be laid at the front doorstep of the National Rifle Association and assault weapon enthusiasts.
The turf and blocks of the streets and combat training grounds of this nation have taught me that automatic and assault weapons belong on the battlefields of nations, not on the streets of its citizens. As a former M60 machine gunner and squad leader who was required to have an abundance of more than 2,000 60-caliber rounds of ammo at all times while in the field, I again attest and confirm nothing leads to exceeding fatal numbers and high body counts like excessive automatic weapons and banana clips of ammo to match.

He obviously quit crack too late to save any of his brain.
If he isn’t trying to be comedic — then he sure is doing a good job of simulating someone who is.
I hope his employer is firing blanks.
I hope he saved that M60 with official military banana clip...that’s gonna be expensive at a Uniques Auction.
Those banana clips for the machine guns must be awfully heavy, especially when you fill them with that 60 caliber ammo.
Hard to believe the Chicago Trib is the same newspaper that published this pro-gun cartoon back in the 1930s.
An M-60 doesn’t have banana clips. It is belt fed.
60 caliber ammo for a M60 with matching banana clips? Hilarious!
.60 caliber...
Banana Clips.
Goes together like Peas and Carrots!
Banana clips is racist.
Dang ...5th place!
Did he have a hammer to get a round into it?
Maybe he was fighting for the Japs in World War II. I think they had something in .60 cal/13.2
Pretty sure that .60 cal ammo doesn’t go in banana clips.......
He needs to team up with that asshole who was worried about Guam tipping over.
Nice. Thanks.
If I remember correctly, linked 7,62 weighed about six or seven pounds per hundred. So...2,000 rounds would weigh about a hundred-twenty plus pounds. The pig weighed about eighteen and three days of C-rats, etc. probably another forty pounds.
So, our intrepid gunner was humping close to 180 pounds.
Bet he was whipped at the end of each day.
He had the letter N tattooed to his arm for nol-ige. (knowledge)
Don't even think of shooting a watermelon with your 60 cal.
