Not only unsuited, but illegal for deer hunting in many states, because it does not kill reliably enough. I’m told that the Army reduced the caliber of their rifles on the basis that a wounded enemy soldier is more of a drag on his unit than a dead one.

He mixed up the AK47 with the AR15-—he kept saying AK15.

And this is the level of intelligence we are supposed to be having an 'open discussion' with on firearms.

Gimme a frakkin' break.

As former UCONN basketball Coach Jim Calhoun once said to a LibWeenie at a press conference;

"Go back and get some facts, then come back and see me!"

Did you recently or will you soon buy a gun?
Yes, for self-defense.
Yes, before regulations increase.
Yes; I was just planning to.
I’m thinking about it.
No, I don’t need to or don’t want one.
No way; they should all be banned.

Think of how many lives could have been saved if Eisenhower had just declared Normandy a Gun Free Zone in 1945?

You forgot to include the recent Oregan Mall incident - a 22yo male with CC heard shooting, put his wife/child into a safe position, advanced until he saw the shooter, aimed his weapon ... did not fire because he saw civilians behind the shooter ... the shooter saw him and his gun, retreated to a stairwell and killed himself.
