Good work, NRA

Does anybody else find it funny that leftists like Hillary Clinton mock Americans for fearing gun confiscation while they praise countries like Australia that have confiscated guns?

not sure if i remember correctly, but didnt the aussies vote (the population) to get rid of their guns after a mass shooting? I thought it was a ballot vote, not the lawmakers?

And they can still own firearms, there just regulations on what kind. I think hunting rifles and shotguns are allowed

You're right. They passed a law and people turned in their guns. The point I was making is that it's perfectly reasonable to suspect that many people in the US want to ban gun ownership.

No, you tried to imply that Australia had some sort of gun grab when it was something that was voted on. How is that related to the point you were trying to make?

[nate]

It has worked out pretty well for Australia too.

Use logic. The two arent exclusive.

The people voted for a gun grab. If 49% of the people wanted to keep their guns, they were out of luck.

If it happens in the US, it will be because of elected representatives and/or their court appointees.

...and it would be a good idea here too, I assume you mean.

See, the NRA has a point

i think if it were a guerilla type conflict, something like red dawn, citizens would stand a fighting chance.

i think once the military busted out their air power, the game would be over pretty quickly.

Agreed.

You know what else would be the game changer, who no one ever mentions? Arty. They never make hollywood movies so the public doesnt really ever mention them. But theyre responsible for upwards of 70 percent of casualties since WW1. We didnt use them too much in iraq because we mostly fought in built up areas. But a 6 gun battery of 155s can do in a minute what would take a few f-16s several passes to do, at a fraction of the cost

I'm not really afraid of artillery. I drive a Chevrolet. They're hardened against this type of thing.

If ISIS can down planes with Schweppes, the US Air force doesn't stand a chance against murica

thats where they would fail though. As soon as the air force guy say that his drink was room temperature, not in a glass with ice, hed land and file a complaint with his E-7

(Sorry arch, im old and out of the game, dont get the chance to trash talk the other services anymore)

It's a valid point. We have our standards.

Is that pretty accurate?

[Jim]

Wow, if I did that in mess line at my house, i'm fairly certain I know where my wife would put my next steak. 

[Tank]

i can't imagine you'd get another steak after blowing up like to your wife.

Only in the minds of Marines.

[Amazing Larry]

You guys know that story was a joke right?

[arch stanton]

Of course we know it's a joke. We also know that there's a lot of Air Force envy among the other services because we don't spend a lot of time sleeping in tents and toting giant backpacks across the desert.

We eat well and shower pretty much everyday.

We travel in airline seats on tankers and they travel on web seats in C-130's. 

I qualified for a marksmanship ribbon in 1987 then ever picked up another rifle.

I could go on for awhile.....

my wife has a cousin who went to medical school via the air force. had to spend his summer in biloxi at some base. they worked him so hard that he only finished second in the base racquetball tournament.

[arch stanton]

He must have been really good because even at a small site you run across racquetball studs.

pfft...we dont have minds.

[arch stanton]

We both know that's not true. If not for a group of truly brilliant men who combine the best traits of American culture then the redneck testosterons would have destroyed the Corps years ago.

he had plenty of time to hone his skills. there weren't too many tense moments at the air base in biloxi.

[arch stanton]

It was a major training center at one time. Not sure about now.

Now i want to watch biloxi blues.
