Jack Booted thugs all.
He mentioned Executive Order, but didn't mention anything about coming to take your guns away, but you use that fear and go spend all your money on guns to help fuel the economy.

If guns are so not needed and not cool you would think that Holder and the rest would lead by example and disarm his police yet we don't see that happening.

Why would we disarm the police? I always love this strawman argument, if someone is against guns, then they must want to disarm the police.

If I give you a dollar, will you use it to buy a sense of humor?

Lighten up, urban. Not everything has to be you-versus-the-world, you know.

In case you care, the actual "bullet size" is .224, not .223. .223 Remington is the cartridge designation, for lack of a better word. "Caliber" is a wierd word in the gun world. It can refer to the cartridge designation. It can be the bore diameter of the barrel ("30 caliber). It can be used as the groove (bullet) diameter (.308). Or it can refer to the barrel length in multiples of the bore diameter.

No actually I didn't care because I wasn't talking about calibers I was talking about percentages that had nothing to do with bullets, but thank you for the random information, if it ever comes up at a party I will remember to point that out.

Right!


all I want to see done with Holder is for him to be tried for treason and sent to a gulag in siberia.

That's its burglary rate. Time will tell what it's murder/accidental death rate will be.
