Kerry: I Love My Illegal Chinese Assault Rifle

I've read that he says it's an 'AK-47' that he smuggled back from Vietnam.

Personally, I think that it's another phony baloney story from Kerry.

[Polybius]

I always thought the M-16 was a rifle not a gun. Ya know, this is my rifle , this is my gun , this is for shooting , this is for fun. Maybe Navy guys didnt have that.

Our guns were bigger than your guns. :-)

Personally, I think that it's another phony baloney story from Kerry.

Like that CIA smelly cap he carries around in his briefcase.

[joesnuffy]

Maybe he made the whole thing up....but it's not unusual for the elite who insist that peasants should not be armed...or that the 1st ammendment is a collective right rather than an individual one..to have substantial personal firearm collections...or for leaders to possess weapons ordinary citizens can not...

imo

FWIW, it is very common to hunt pigs with assault weapons. I've used an SKS to take several pigs/boars. Ballistically, the 7.62 x 39 mm round used in AK47's and SKS's (and Ruger Mini 30's) is not much different than the venerable 30-30. Some ammo mfgr's are now selling hunting cartridges for them. But trust me, the FMJ round works wonders on pigs.

"It's O.K. for John Kerry to own these kinds of firearms, but it's not O.K. for John Q. Public?" complained National Rifle Association spokesman Andrew Arulanandam, in an interview with the Times.

Andy Andy Andy...You're forgetting that Hanoi John is better than us. He is a great man of wisdom and priviledge. We are riff-raff.

I like my Finnish one better.

Perfect for drive-by shootings.

He didn't have to bring one home from Nam, he could have just purchased one of the thousands that Diane Fienstien's husband Richard Blum imported after the ban from China, courtesy of a waiver from the Clinton Administration.

Hypocrite is not a strong enough word.

I traded my SKS and $700boot for a new Bushmaster AR-15 with 16in. barrel plus flash-suppressor\recoil-compensater in lovely desert camo style.

"First I picked Edwards BUT now I pick Hanoi Jane!"

Edwards played football in 1971 when he turned 18
instead of serving in Vietnam.
Hanoi Jane at least was a Viet Cong!
Just like me!

Hanoi Jane and I know how to demoralize US Troops serving today!

We hate US Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We hate all US Troops!

We lie about them in 2004 the same as we did in the 60's and 70's!

We vow to insult and undermine Iraq Prime Minister Ayad Allawi

We vow to protect the UN and the Oil for Food Scandal

We vow to keep secret the ties between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaida

We vow to free Saddam Hussein with help from our old friend Ramsey Clark.

If he does really, truly have such a weapon, he should tell us if it was a gift from the Communist Chinese.

[King Prout]

someone here tripped to this little gaffe sometime last week... or earlier.

I do hope this gets louder.

[OldSmaj]

...spokesman Michael Meehan telling the New York Times only that his boss was a registered gun owner in Massachusetts.

Evade, obfuscate, spin.

Kerry is an ignorant dumb ass that doesn't have the gun sense that God gave a gnat.

Kerry is such a horse's ass that he thinks you crawl through the woods with a double barrel shotgun to go deer hunting.

What an ass.

I believe, in part of the interview, either with Outdoor Life or Field and Stream, he was asked what his biggest deer was; his response was: "Oh, I don't know, an eight pointer, I guess."

Ignorant damn fool. Anybody that hunts has a very, very good memory of their biggest deer. There is no "I guess".

This ass has no clue of what it takes to be a sportsman/hunter or even how to talk to a sportsman/hunter.

My dislike for this limousine liberal brahmin has gone beyond a political disagreement. I actually loathe the sight of the son of a...well, you know.

[RippleFire]

bump

[ArmyBratproud]

HMMMMM....Kerry seems more like the old Russian Leadership with each passing day.

It seems that he feels that he can have all.....and we the people can have nothing.

[Clinging Bitterly]

''My favorite gun is the M-16 that saved my life and that of my crew in Vietnam,'' Kerry told Outdoor Life magazine for its October issue. ''I don't own one of those now, but one of my reminders of my service is a Communist Chinese assault rifle.''

Okay. Parsing that statement (and you really have to do that with Democrats), I find nothing in it that is actually saying he owns any such thing.

Since he claims to have been a Naval Officer (in Vietnam), he should certainly know exactly what an assault rifle is, but I don't think he has one, demilled or otherwise.
