Someone needs to send the Kenyan ***hole a copy of the Bill of Rights.

Wouldn't help. Communists/statists just can't get their head around it. Better to just bury them in the "ashbin of history".

"And no true American would have an AK-47, the communist weapon of choice."

Actually, many American contemporary and prior real combat soldiers (the kind who do thousands of patrol and ambush drills and fire quite a variety of weapons for many hours on ranges--far less than 5% of all military personnel) prefer to own semi-automatic AK-47s.

I don't prefer either in general. Semi-auto AK-47 variants and AR-15 variants each have their better attributes.

But FNs are downright too ugly. ;-) [Wife will bark at me for that, because she used them in her service.]

Another fine theory dreamt up by some goof who assumed civility on the part of our enemies....

I like the description, posted by a New Zealander on a Youtube video, from his veteran RSM who took part in Operation Claret in Malaysia in the early 1960s...he said you could always tell the difference between a “nog” who got shot with an AR-15 and one who got shot with an L1A1...the ones shot with the AR would slump forward and into the boat (that they were using to infiltrate)...the ones shot with the 7.62 NATO round of the L1A1 would fly backwards and OUT of the boat!

That’s why we have M14s...or M1As, take your pic. ;-)

Great rifles...at huge prices, though.

[M1903A1]

Quality costs.

I'm an Afghanistan and Iraq veteran (military member 15+ yrs), and I have a collection of the things and really like them.

Can't help that the commies made a rugged, dependable weapon.

Sometimes it’s ok to politicize a tragedy, right?

Just when Democrats do it, of course.

Because they care.

“The 2nd Ammendment protects the right of individual citizens to have “military” type arms like “assault” rifles. Any other reading of the language would be ridiculous.”

You’re correct. The USSC decision in “Miller” clearly states that the 2nd Amendment is meant to protect civilian possession of military type weapons.

[Impy]

Damn right!
