Who needs a gun with folks like this being appointed to protect us at the Department of Homeland Security.......WTF? Obama Appoints 2 Devout Muslims to Homeland Security Posts (NOTE: Has anyone ever heard a new government official being identified as a devout Catholic, Jew or Protestant..? Just wondering) Doesn't this make you feel safer already?? Obama and Janet Nappy Appoint Devout Muslim to Homeland Security Post, Arif Alikhan as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development.

I really don't care what religion they are, I served with Muslims in bother Iraq and Afghanistan and they can shoot the bad-guys as well as any Christian, Jew, other or Atheist. Sure it shouldn't need to be stated what religion someone is when announcing their job but that probably has more to do with the source reporting than the individual themselves. Religion aside are they qualified for the job? OK then.
:cornut: That is the 7.62 x 39(the old RussianSKS/AK47rd) which is roughly the same power as a 30/30 Win(short to med range hunting round). Actual ballistics are 120gr .308/7.62mm bullet with a muzzle velosity of 2400ft/sec. It lacks power and range. If you hunt with that round make sure that all shots are within 100-150yds. Now trading up to an AR10 in .308Win/7.62NATO yeilds a 150-165gr .308/7.62bullet at 2700-2800ft/sec with a considerable increase in power and range. There are other problems with the 7.62x39 Russian(all former Communist Block weapons in this caliber actually). Ammo, chambers, and barrels manufactered in the US adhere to strict SAAMI tolerances(excellent accuracy and safety). The bullet in Russian ammo is anywhere from .308-.311 with Russian barrel tolerances equally sloppy.(that's why they don't ever jam, with wide open sloppy tolerances nothing touches anything else. No jams but no accuracy either) So always only use American ammo in American barrels to avoid dangerously high chamber pressures that could lead to chamber rupture and serious physical injury. Russian barrel will take American and Russian ammo safely but don't expect to hit anything with it beyond 100yds. My advice: Stick with American .223 Rem/5.56NATO(AR15) or .308Win/7.62NATO(AR10) ammo in nonRussian rifles. Jason
And why would anyone "need" both......sheesh. You have a greater chance of being hit by lightening than needing a gun to protect yourself in your home, so I am sure you would want to buy my anti-lightening suit just for those occasions.
:cornut: Here are just a few reasons but they will never be enough for the cowardly socialists who want to give up their freedom to a totalitarian government to provide their every want instead of providing it for themselves. Gun control's biggest advocates are/were Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Mao Zedong, Obama, Feinstein, Bloomberg, Soros.....They are all also socialists(Hitler was a National Socialist) 1. to fire at the range 2. for the collection 3. to hunt game 4. to teach the younger generation about their heritage 5. to teach gun safety and handling 6. to ensure a properly trained militia(which is all adult citizens) 7. to provide meat for the table 8. to ensure that the ladies aren't cowed by male machismo 9. to protect the citizens from the government 10.to instill confidence 12.personal and family protection Jason
At the age of 14, I was home alone with a broken leg when intruders began breaking through our back door with me in plain sight. I was able to hobble on my crutches and retrieve a 12gauge semi automatic shotgun and return to the room as they were about to enter. I leveled the shotgun at them and yelled, they turned and ran, I went to the door and fired a couple shots into the woods they ran into. They saw me sitting there as they were breaking in, they had no good intentions, had I not had a gun available and known how to use it, I most likely would not be typing this right now. Your argument is flawed. Now what about that lightening ?:screwy:
What is the truth that a gun saved my life too inconvenient? Does that not fit the anti gun propaganda? Does this real life event not support the idea that taking guns away from law abiding citizens is the way to protect them from those that mean them harm and do not, and will not abide by gun laws? Wake up and smell the coffee.
You see, the second amendment protects your choice....which one of these would you choose for yourself or your loved ones?
:cornut: The 2nd Ammendment is the only way that the people have of protecting all of the other rights. We are a Federal Republic not a People's Democratic Socialist Republic. They(Socialist States) have all failed or are currently failing. What part of: 'Socialism Doesn't Work', do the Washington Progressive Socialists not understand. Are they stupid, have they not studied history, or are they naive enough to think that all previous totalitarian states just 'didn't do it correctly' and they being modern Pseudo Intectual Socialists will finally 'get it right.':frown2::nonod: Jason De Oppresso Libre IT AIN'T ABOUT DUCK HUNTING! IT"S ABOUT LIBERTY!
