Sorry, the author is wrong. Automatic weapons are not banned. They only require a tax stamp to possess. It does not do our side any favors if we accuse others of being ignorant of gun laws and then we show ignorance ourselves.
Hey, let’s make a law to make those people coming to America without going through proper channels, criminals.
He’s a media whore. They are all over the Army and at all levels. They constantly get in the way and their number one concern is getting maximum publicity while minimally accomplishing the mission. Usually, lower levels have to work harder to make up for their BS.
Reading the headline, one thinks of Shakespeare’s :
To be or not to be, that is the question!
A patriot, that is.
Of course, the good general is singing 0kakenyan’s praises for a few lib interviews and dollars by NOT being a patriot. That, will sell his book.
Guy said he had many letters criticizing him for saying the students at Sandy Hook were killed with an automatic weapon. He said technically a semi-automatic weapon was used but he was sticking with his usage since "weapons experts" use the two words interchangeably.
I almost drove off the road. Amazing willful ignorance.
McCrystal is ceding the battles on logic, law, and constitutionalism and demands that any debate be solely on emotionalism.
Disarm the law abiding populace, and ensure only that the military and police have guns.
Spoken like a general.
It’s all about public perception. If the oppressors can convince the public that there are lots of machineguns out there, they will accept “meaningful, reasonable gun control” like banning all semi-autos.
The people are kept deliberately ignorant of even simple gun issues (this is why they always say “clip”).
The distinction between full-auto and semi-auto has been deliberately blurred, so when this guy says we must ban something that is already banned, the public will agree to new controls on just about any gun.
Part of his oath of office:
“I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foriegn and domestic;”
I wonder if he realizes the 2nd Amendment is included in that?
And that 2nd Amendment was enacted so the People could defend themselves against a tyrannical government?
He’s certainly no expert on the Constitution.
He is on Michael Dead Head radio now. What an ass hat, kiss up to Obama.
“Shoots a 5.56 round at 3000 feet per second. When it hits human flesh, it’s devastating.”
A 300 WIN Mag and a 308 WIN both can travel at or near this speed and yes they are devastating as well fired from a bolt action and not a scary black rifle with an assault sling on it.
Are we to ban firearms based on speed of the round now?
Pretty soon we are going to be chunking hi precision bullets with sling shots.
And more bragadoccio, how many people has McChrystol personally shot? He’s another of the technocrats with sof patches. He is another of our pussy generals. Zipping around with rolling stone reporters in his gulfstream jet to Paris to dine with NATO diplomats. (while making sure grunts in Afghanistan had access to pizza and burgers taken away at main bases. Supposedly mres make them feel like warriors)
Id like to see his emails to the Tampa housewife socialite, Korean diplomat,,,,like allens and petraeuses,,, there’s no way he was in the same position as them, and wasn’t writing her every day.
Shouldn't he have some idea what he swore to uphold?
What is the difference between McChrystal arguing for disarming the populace and Soviet, Chinese, German or Cambodian Generals arguing for disarming their populaces? Not a damn thing.
I kid you not. They repeated the story twice on my way to work.
Are people really that stupid? It is like the movie “Anchorman” where Will Farrell's character reads whatever is on the teleprompter.
As Stanley said, “I’m not an expert on the Second Amendment or gun control.....”
Well, I’m not an expert on aholes but I’m convinced McChrystal is one of the biggest ones on the face of the Earth.
The Wesley Clark of the 21st century. What a tool.
