Danny boy is afraid, very afraid. He is ignorant. Why would a deer/hog hunter want to lug a 9# rifle? Why would the 'hood gang bangers want any yellow sheeted gun? He is a Democrat neo-fascist domestic enemy of our Constition. He is silly. He he he.

These are probably next on his list...

Are these anti-Civil Rights politicians still saying that they are against criminals, but not against that all-American past-time Hunting? It would appear that the veil is torn and we can see that they are in fact against firearms used in sports. Bet that will be popular across the country.

Someone needs to upgrade the lemat to modern specs!
That was firepower.
10 shots in a revolver.
first nine were .44
last was 16 gauge shotgun shell.

I love my Nuke 50! Recoil isn't near as bad as you'd think although the shockwave can be nasty if you don't keep your shots out at good distance. My biggest complaint is finding reloading components. There's plenty of Mexican strontium coming up through AZ but it's so low grade you can't get enough of it into a .50 cal projectile to make much of a bang.

Davis said. "Those of us who live in big, urban centers have a different fear and a different take than some people who may live in different environments." Same sort of self-centered liberal mindset that spawned the term "Flyover Country" and fuels the assault on SUVs.
"I live in one of these all-important urban hellholes and I don't need a SUV to go to the latte shop, so you insignificant peons out there in the rest of America don't need off-road capability either. I'm the only one who is important!"
Just because this wimpy #^%*&^^ is too much of a dumba$$ to move out of the crime-ridden sCums where he lives in fear of his life, he wants to deny the entire nation the use of tools made for life in the boonies!
&*%&$$#& Self-centered liberal ba$t@rds!!!"

"... I have no doubt that if you were lucky enough to get close enough, you could take a deer down with a .44 Magnum, which until now, was the biggest gun around."(said Larry Pratt)It's not "luck" Larry! And you don't need to get all that close.
But more to the point, the Dan Wesson .44 Supermag, the Freedom Arms .454 Casul, and the Ruger .480 all enormously out-power the .44 magnum - and where has the outcry been?
"As far as Davis' contention that any would-be criminal could easily conceal the 500 Magnum, Pratt said, "Yeah, if you have a trench coat or something like that."
Well, duh! This IS Chicago they're talking about!
Reckon anyone in Chicago wears a trench coat?

Well there's a place for everything. .25 megaton pops are about the best you can get with the .50 cal. even if you hotload it. When you figure that the original Fat Boy was the size of a garbage truck the 40mm grenade is still a great piece for the home arsenal. I mean look at it this way...a 12 ga. pump is the hot ticket when you've got more than one "rat" to clear out of the barn but it's a lot more practical to take the .45 when you go into town. For those Hiroshima size whoomps you still gotta go with the 40mm.

Illinois State House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie: "This is not the Wild West. It hasn't been for a long time."Well, what's it going to be 'Babs'? Either Chicago's streets are mean and violent, or they're not - which is it?
"'My concern is whether this kind of weaponry -- it is a handgun as I understand it -- in a crowded, urban area downtown street corners in the midst of people who are angry about something and developing the kind of rage that means vandalism and mob action - whether this kind of weapon has any place,' Currie said."
Curie makes a wonderful argument FOR carrying a handgun like this!

"He is a Democrat neo-fascist domestic enemy of our Constition. He is silly. He he he."Almost as silly as those who pulled a voting lever with his name beside it.

wow, i'm impressed! the highest yield we could get was 15 kT. We had a little dial at the back of the round to dial up the yield. Thing is, when you went to max, you had to run fast to beat the shock wave.
The advantage of your new technology is that the .50 cal round has a lot longer range. Our 40mm could only reach out to 250 meters, (without using the rocket assist propellant charge of course). Guess you can see why we had to be fast when popping these things on the range. Of course there was that time on the DMZ in Korea, but I can't talk about that.

No wonder they were restricted to military use. My hat's off to you pioneers who layed the ground for todays hand held nukes. I'm sure a heavy smoking couch potato like me would get his short hairs singed fooling around with that old "heave it and hoof it" technology.
The kids today are bringing it back though. Trying to ride the shockwave on parachutes, now that bungee jumping is getting passe.

"You don't go out hunting deer with a revolver," Davis said Ummm... in the state of Indiana you do. Your basic 30-30 cal. Deer rifle is banned here for that purpose. That leaves .357 revolvers, 12GA. Shotguns, and Bows as the only allowed tools for deer hunting in this state.
To: ZULU
Guns don't kill people. Only REALLY BIG guns do. Like crime is really going to skyrocket as a result of a $900 handgun.
