If any of the NVA on Tiger Island were looking the right way, they could actually see the 16-inch projectile in flight [it looked about the size of a Volkswagen]. They knew for several milliseconds they were in deep do-do when the first shell detonated. After that, not so much.

Doesn’t matter if they are. Which, they aren’t.

My Right either way.

A M1 Garand can out fire a M14...

I don't have a clue what you are talking about. A M14 fires a .308Win cartridge fully automatically with a detachable magazine.

Most M14’s I saw were semi-autos. I have been told by a gun expert that a trained M1 Grand marksman can shoot more rounds than a M14 because of a slight edge of the M1 Garand in loading because the M14 has to lock in the magazine. The M1 Garand fires 30-06 which is a more powerful round also. The M14 is difficult to handle on full-auto so it is about equal to the M1.

Up until urban anarchists ruined things and opened the door for big government Democrats to control weapons - everything was available to Americans.

Now our government doesn’t protect our liberty, but us. And to do that you need to suppress liberty. Liberty is dangerous.

I just read this Heller quote from Scalia, “the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of ‘dangerous and unusual weapons.’”.

When did that “tradition” start, 1930?

This guy’s supposed to be a conservative and a scholar. How dumb do our masters think we are?
