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.

Don’t even mention what keeps a door gunner from falling out the door of a helicopter.
Ha! That’s right.
Have you tried new improved Banana Clips with Almonds?
GREAT with gluten free low tar cockroach milk.
Not sure, but I don’t think I’ve heard “banana clip” since Clinton’s AWB. Well, other than the times I’m at gun shows exploiting the loophole.
I see what you did there.jpg
You have to heat them up first in the microwave so the metal expands.
What is this Vegas shooting that occasionally pops up every few days?
/S
I though this was an article about shooting blank cartridges.
If we applied this logic thought process to black abortions and just had a lot more of them then black on black crime would decline.
Too many whities have too many guns?
Bro, come take ‘em away. Make it happen. Right now.
;^)
Brotha Shoots Blanks!
That 60 cal ammo must cost a fortune these days!
Nothing like getting your information about gun control and firearms from a crackhead poet.
Seriously, though, you would think at least one editor at a paper of this size would know that an M60 doesn’t fire .60 ammo or feed from ‘banana clips’. The ignorance is just astounding.
As I recall, just about everybody in the platoon carried a belt (or 2) of M60 rounds. A poncho was laid out by the M60 gun position and some belts were placed upon it and arranged by the M60 team.
Got it. Will do in future posts.
Does anyone actually believe this crackhead felon served a single day in the military?
Our SOP was every swinging i___ in the platoon carried a hundred round belt. We kept ours, except for the gun teams, in the boxes as we found it was easier to keep clean and easier to toss to the gun team in case anything impromptu happened.
Add everything else and it was an eighty-five pound load...in the Central Highlands.
Those were the days.
