Yeah, I got "Embedding disabled by request.  Watch on YouTube"  Poked it a couple of times to get it to open a new tab for YouTube.

while I agree that you should be able to determine what you need, but only up to a point.  The real question is where do you draw that line.  I think most people would agree that you don't need and should not have a WMD.

FWIW I don't have a prob with you being able to buy say a true m16 or a SAW.  After all that is what the miltary are using right now.  I would however draw the line at say hand gernades. Its not becuase I don't think you should beable to own one.  its do to the fact that some idiot will be playing with one around other people... I don't care if they blow themselfs up, but I do care if they hurt other people.

TAB, by that same logic, you should be against citizens owning guns.  "Some idiot will be playing around with one around people"......are you SURE you're not a plant from the Brady Bunch?

Can someone take this idiot to a real range and show him what grampa's 30-30 can do???

Better yet, have him stand next to a watermelon, about the size of his dense head, and ask him if the watermelon exploded before he heard it,....

Can we get Michael Bane on Larry King mui pronto please!!!!!!!

This just goes to show the total ignorance in society about firearms. People only fear these rifles, because they have absolutely no real world knowledge of them. All they know is that they always see some mall ninja with them on T.V.

Oh, Puhleeeeze.....
I have been shooting for 50 years, and a Mechanical Engineer for 30. This dip-sh*t "expert" is talking nonsense. That "Gee Whiz" description of muzzle velocity was really scary -ooh; the weapon is BAD!

If Dan Austin is an Forensic expert the standards for experts are not that high.

A rifle too sophicasted to be cleaning in my house? What the f**k makes it anymore dangerous to clean in my house then every other firearm?

hell when i google "Forensic expert Dan Austin" i get 2 pages of ridicule.

hey CNN. just google the gun. You'll get much better info than this buffoon erroneously provides.

And the winner is:

Both of these guy are booger eating morons.........

I knew a dim-bulb in 'Nam who decided to shoot an elephant with his M16.  (Not a friend, I had no influence over him, and I wasn't there when it happened.  He  told me the story after the fact.  So save the PETA crap.) 

Anyway, he was out on patrol and for some reason he decided he needed to shoot this elephant. 

The first shot got the elephant's attention.  The second got the elephant really pi$$ed-off.  There wasn't a third shot because the elephant charged.  Ben (the dim-bulb) said the only thing that saved his life was falling into a honey-pit (open cess-pool) at a full run and staying in it until the elephant lost interest in trying to find him.

The moral to this story:  Never shoot an elephant with a .223 unless you are truly suicidal (or want to explore the depths of a honey pit).  A rifle shot that may be fairly effective in taking out a 200-lb person is only an annoyance to an animal that may weigh 10,000 pounds.  And that annoyance can run at 35 mph.

Talk about stupidity leading to deep sh*t........
