Yeah, I’ve read some real stupid shit in teh interwebz<\/em> today in regards to gun control, but this one just deserved a public answer. It’s from some shithole called Balloon Juice<\/a> written by a guy named John Cole who explains that he was supposedly in the 11th ACR stationed at Camp Doha between the wars with Iraq;<\/p>\n

So why am I telling you this? Because in the middle of one of the most dangerous regions in the world, even with clear Rules of Engagement, every time I went on gate duty, there was a piece of tape over my ammo clip on my M-16 and M1911 .45. Why? Because the most heavily armed military in the world did not want accidental shootings. If a situation arose, I would have to eject my ammo clip, remove the tape, and reinsert and work the action before I could fire.<\/p>\n

This was in a combat zone. Yet I have spent the last two fucking days dealing with armchair commandos telling me they need unlimited firepower to be safe in\u2026 Connecticut.<\/p>\n

If there are bigger pussies in the world than gun nuts, I don\u2019t know who the fuck they are.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, because he was such an incompetent boob that he needed to have his ammo taped in his magazine, gun nuts are pussies – yeah, I don’t see the connection either. Besides, he calls them “ammo clips” – who, with more than a day in the Army, calls box magazines “ammo clips”? So, I’m thinking that John Cole was a cook, or anything except someone his unit would allow to guard something. And, I’m pretty sure that between the Iraq Wars, the Army was using 9mm Barettas and not the M1911A1 .45 cal pistol.<\/p>\n

And the reason any magazines were taped wasn’t to prevent the ammunition from loading. The Army did that when ammunition was passed between guard shifts for accountability. But, of course, any dingus who thought they’re called “ammo clips” wouldn’t know that.<\/p>\n

So why do I call Balloon Juice a shit hole? Because all of their writers are gun grabbing facists, apparently. They write shit like this;<\/p>\n

Bernard Finel<\/a>: If it were in my power, I\u2019d seize every fucking firearm in the country other than revolvers, shotguns, and bolt-action rifles and melt them all down.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

mistermix:<\/a> If you must own an AR-15 or Bushmaster or AK-47, it should stay locked in your personal gun cabinet at the range, never to leave. If you change ranges, a bonded courier can take it to the new one. The same is true of the high-capacity clips for your Glock, your 100-round drum magazines, and all the other expensive toys that let you bang off a couple of dozen rounds in a minute. Yeah, that\u2019s expensive and a nuisance. So are the laws surrounding other potentially unsafe pursuits.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mistermix, my Glock uses high capacity magazines, not clips. The ammunition for my M4 is in clips until I put the bullets in the magazine. If you’re going to talk the language of gun control, learn the language of guns first.<\/p>\n

After posting the Wikipedia entry for events leading up to the UK’s gun ban, Imani Gandy (ABL)<\/a> posts this;<\/p>\n

Am I suggesting that we ban handguns? No, not really. I am suggesting we have a sensible discussion about gun-control laws that leads to, as President Obama put it, meaningful action. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you weren’t suggesting that we ban guns, why did you have to tell us that the UK banned guns because of an incident somewhat similar to Sandy Hook? Every leftist gun grabbing fascist on the internet is talking about “a sensible discussion”, but their discussion of a sensible discussion is senseless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
