Some humor about the AR-15. From Facebook. Facts About the AR-15
* The inventor of the AR-15 was Satan, though his patent has since expired.
* Scientists have confirmed the deadly effects of an AR-15 by giving it to a chimpanzee who then murdered them.
* Scientists agree that each year the AR-15 will grow more deadly until it kills everyone in the entire world.
* Some believe that Hitler was in fact an AR-15 in a rubber mask.
* In the Garden of Eden, God gave Adam and Eve access to every firearm out there except for the AR-15 which he told them not to touch because it was too evil. But then the NRA, in the guise of a serpent, told Eve that the AR-15 is really fun to shoot. So then Eve took the AR-15 and started shooting all the animals in the garden because she is one awesome chick.
* The part that makes the AR-15 so extra deadly is the handle on top. The AR-15 would be used in less murders if it were more inconvenient to carry.
* It was an AR-15 that told Miley Cyrus to dance like that.
* Bullets that are normally harmless will kill instantly when fired out of the AR-15.
* The reason AR-15s have that prominent handle on them is because the most requested feature for an assault rifle was to be able to carry it like a Hello Kitty lunch box.
* If you find yourself surrounded by AR-15's, know that they will fire automatically if they sense fear.
* The AR-15 is easily concealable and can fit inside a matchbox.
* The AR-15 is the leading cause of global warming from how its bullets shoot holes in the ozone.
* A very small percentage of gun deaths are attributed to the AR-15 because it is very good at disguising itself as other guns to frame them.
* What are the differences between an M16 and an AR-15? Scientists agree that it is something.
* The AR-15 can be rendered harmless by giving it only a 10 round magazine as people always miss with the first ten rounds and an AR-15 takes an hour and a half to reload.
* The AR-15 can shoot through schools.
* In a battle between Aquaman and an AR-15, Aquaman would break down and buy it so people might think he’s more manly.
* There were no shooting deaths until the invention of an AR-15. No one even considered using a gun to shoot another human being until someone saw an AR-15 and said, "I bet I could use this to kill a lot of people."
* There was an assault musket similar to the AR-15 used by the world’s most evil pirates, but it was pronounced "Arrr-15."
* The Assault Weapon ban was needed because it is well known that an AR-15 with both a pistol grip and a flash suppressor would be unstoppable by any modern military.
* In Europe there is no such thing as an AR-15 and thus also no such thing as murders. Instead of being violent, people there just drink wine and smoke cigarettes all day.
* If you are shot by an AR-15, you become one and kill others.
* The AR-15 is responsible for 95% of all deaths each year. The rest of the deaths are from obesity and drone strikes.

Bah, the AR-15 is NOTHING compared to it's big brother, the dreaded and evil AR-10! It's so evil, my wife says the holographic sight on it makes it so easy to shoot "It's cheating. You just put the red cross on the target and boom, it hits."

Much as I love my AR-10, I have even more fondness for it's granddaddy, the M-1 Garand. I've never shot a gun that felt more 'right' than the M-1, even if it did try to take my thumb off.
(And no, I'll never stick my thumb in there again. Man, talk about ouchies and swollen thumbs that need a hole poked through the nail to fix.)

They forgot the can opener and the finger nail trimmer.
Personally, any time we are in a conflict in an open environment such as the ME, we really should be using something that can reach out and touch someone at 300+ yards. I qualified the first time on the M-1 and we were expected to pop man sized silhouettes at 300 meters. The M-16 is a freaking pop gun. I hated it when I carried it and thought it was a lousy weapon and a terrible club.

M-14, 7.62mm, 11 3/4 lbs fully loaded.
At 500 yards shot 20 out of 20 in a D (upper torso) from a prone position. There is a reason SpecOps folks have taken to using it for medium range, target dense sniper ops.

Oh I knew about M1 Thumb before it happened. But I didn't truly understand til that bolt slammed forward and smashed my thumb.
JFM, please provide video proof of your awesomeness. The video must include you holding the 52kg M2HB unsupported with a full 105 rnd belt attached, firing said belt while remaining upright and standing with no outside support and managing to keep at least 25% of rounds on target at let's say 100 yards just to be nice and fair.
[Ynet] As the Gulf states are left with no money to spend and are experiencing internal shocks, the era of destructive Arab power is coming to an end; the Israeli mind and innovation era, on the other hand, is just beginning.
The most dramatic news in 2014 almost went unnoticed: The United States lifted the restrictions on American oil exports, and as of the first day of the new year it has begun exporting oil to the world.
No one believed this would happen so fast, but the US is already the world's biggest oil manufacturer, bigger than Soddy Arabia

Except Arabs won't go gently into the soft night. Before they return to the trash heap of history---this time, I hope, permanently---there's going to be a big war in ME. One in which scum vermin western elites will do their best to handicap Israel.

On a separate note, I'm personally keeping my fingers-crossed + hoping that the "Peak Oil" + Other Perts are wrong, + that the US-World won't suddenly discover after 2030 that the entire planet is running out of oil, be it costly andor cheap.
Where FRACKING won't help because it both uses too much water to operate, while also extensively polluting, altering vital fresh water tables.
"PERFECT STORM(S)".
As I like to say, the greatest single threat from our mighty OWG-NWO Govt-Perts consensus on "Peak Oil", etc. on same is that THERE IS NO CONSENSUS.
* Year 2015 - 2030 NLT 2050 = "PARTYING LIKE ITS 1999" before world oil resources collapse in entirety or near-entirety, + the World per se is forced to adopt Islam just for normal basic survival.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
