My “venerable” M16 I carried sometimes in Vietnam was NOT automatic...It was semi-auto and had a three shot burst selector...

I trusted an M14 more than the ‘16....

The guns with the little “BANG!” flags would be good. D.C. has turned into a mental asylum.

“The Army has managed to create entirely new acquisition problems for what should be a simple, straightforward purchase of a commercially available item,” said Mr. McCain. “The Army’s effort to buy a new handgun has already taken 10 years and produced nothing but more than 350 [pages of] requirements micromanaging extremely small unimportant details and Byzantine rules and processes the Army wants followed, many of which are unnecessary or anti-competitive.”


*sigh* Another sign of a government in late stage decay. It can’t even select a reliable sidearm for the military after 10 years.

I did get a kick out of this:

"to purchase tens of thousands of Spencers, their automatic fire changing the war’s course. "

It would be nice if a big outfit like the Washington Times could afford someone who actually knows something about guns to read articles about guns before they publish them.

The Secret Service who guards his homosexual a$$ is not ordered to make their firearms “safer.” Obama is an Evil prick, and that is being kind.

At last, vindication for Jocelyn Elders and her “safer bullets.”

D.C. has turned into a mental asylum
= = = = = = = = = = = = =

Been there for a while, the ‘cast of characters’ is finally in place.....

Just looking at the choice of ‘Klowns’ we have had to vote for in the past few elections should prove that as a country WE are mentally incapable of Governing Ourselves.

The old adage about it takes a couple hundred years for ALL the have nots to ‘gang up’ on the haves and it starts going downhill....Especially when the people elected are chosen by who gives away the most.

Time to buy stock in Pitchforks, Tar and Feathers and get some people with spines to rise up against this cancer that is going to send us swirling down the drain.

This trend keeps up and WE won’t even qualify as a 3rd World Country.

Exactly...The 1911 Colt served our military well for many years. They went to a 9mm and now won’t acknowledge it’s not adequate but are determined to find another sidearm while our Special Forces have gone back to a 45 cal. Seems pretty obvious to me what the answer is.

EVERYTHING obama does either:
a) Weakens America/Americans
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Attacks Christianity
e) Serves islam
f) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.
There are NO counter examples.

I saw that too! Not only were Spencer rifles repeaters, not automatics, they has little effect on the course of the war.
