I also remember watching a MythBusters episode that fired various calibers into a pool of water (including .50 cal.) and determined that not one of them was effective beyond roughly 3 feet under water.   http://kwc.org/mythbusters/2005/07/mythbusters_bulletproof_water.html   http://mythbustersresults.com/episode34   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvSTuLIjRm8

  Yes, let's stop using the language of the left please.  It does not help our cause to agree with them or even sound as if we are agreeing with them by using their words.

  NY "Republicans" are akin to TN Democrats.  RHINO's

Boehner will block any impeachment attempt.

  I lived in "upstate" NY for many years, beautiful country (Adirondacks).  It's a shame that one city Eff's it up for the rest of the state.

  I think it's actually the other half that suffers, but either way, you are correct. ;)

I hear ya!

  He is a Hoplophobe.

I retitled this piece as there have been several similarly titled pieces recently.  It is very good.   http://godfatherpolitics.com/8967/is-another-civil-war-on-the-horizon/

  Roger that.

I like this, plain and simple -

I still have a boatload of relatives in NY and I keep telling them - GET THE HELL OUT NOW!

  Oh I'm with ya, wasn't disagreeing, just used your quote to interject another thought.  But I agree, these Hoplophobes are a bunch of pantywaist sissies who always think that they are doing something good.

  Amen.  DO NOT allow them to set the language.  They have done this for far too long.  They have demonized everything that they hate by the use of language.  They are Hoplophobes.

Opinion: The liberal media’s most outrageous anti-gun rants   http://video.foxnews.com/v/2088119598001/opinion-the-liberal-medias-most-outrageous-anti-gun-rants-/?intcmp=obnetwork

NY Has Tentative Deal on Gun Control: AP   Restricts Assault Weapons, Limits Magazine Size to 7 Bullets...   http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Gun-Control-Assault-Weapons-Ban-Magazines-Limit-Cuomo-NY-186794151.html   ......   "If the deal survives as expected, a bill could be presented this week, but it faces several challenges."   ......     "Also a concern is a major gun manufacturer in upstate New York.   Remington Arms Co. makes the Bushmaster semi-automatic rifle ... The two-century-old Remington factory in Ilion in central New York employs 1,000 workers in a Republican Senate district.   Republican Assemblyman Marc Butler warned last week that a more restrictive assault weapon ban could cost the factory 300 jobs."

Obama: Some Gun Control Measures 'I Can Accomplish Through Executive Action'   http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/obama-some-gun-control-measures-i-can-accomplish-through-executive-action_695381.html   "My understanding is the vice president's going to provide a range of steps that we can take to reduce gun violence," said Obama. "Some of them will require legislation, some of them I can accomplish through executive action. And so I will be reviewing those today, and as I said, I will speak in more detail to what we're going to go ahead and propose later in the week. But I'm confident that there are some steps that we can take that don't require legislation and that are within my authority as president, and where you get a step that, has the opportunity to reduce the possibility of gun violence, then i want to go ahead and take it."

  That's getting closer to what I'm thinking.

  Yeah... I thought that was gonna happen 3 months ago.  Figured that TONS of people had to be awake by that point.  SURPRISE!  Not awake.  Moochers were though.  Next chance to do anything about it is 2014 and 2016.  Not sure if we'll make it to 2014.  2016 is an eternity away.

As I said on 12/22/12 -   Americans like iPhones don't they?  Why does anyone need an iPhone?  Why isn't the two-piece brick cellular telephone from the 1980's still good enough for everyone?  It's called progress.  Technology.  Evolution.  Americans like the latest, the greatest, the best, the most functional.  Why would we be happy with a sub-par, antiquated relic?  Are we that way with any other thing that we own?  Our vehicles?  Our televisions?  Our computers?  Sure, there is always a small group of enthusiasts who like the older stuff for novelty or collecting purposes, but Americans tend to prefer the most advanced technology that has had all of the bugs worked out of it, and which works at its most optimal.  Same goes for our firearms.   http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/56462-tennessean-writing-about-ar-15-similar-rifles/page-4     Not to mention that AR (Armalite Rifle) rifles are like Lego's.  They are infinitely configurable to the individual user's tastes and preferences.
