I have to agree, using plastic pellet guns against illegals is truly stupid. They should be using .45s, "the most powerful handgun in the world," and rifles with telescopic sights.

Unlike you though, GWB actually cares about winning and being in a position to advance conservative causes. He's not ready to just hand the country over to the Democratic Party as you appear to want to do.

.45s the most powerful handgun in the world, ?

Actually, not to highjack the thread or anything, (well, maybe just a little), 45s are probably the most popular handgun in America (I own two, myself), but ballistically are far from the most potent.

That honor goes to the new 500 Smith, I think.

However, Clint Eastwood popularized the M-29 Smith in Dirty Harriet when he said the 44 mag was "the most powerful handgun in the whole world and can blow your head clean off."

Before that movie, M-29s were selling for their retail price of about $260. After the movie, they were selling for $500. Hollyweird is amazing.
