Thoughts?

I think he just edged out Weaselly Clark as the biggest douche who took an oath that he didn't really mean.

I disagree and so do the founding fathers. I don't care what he thinks. For all I know the man could felch gerbils in his spare time.

Seems like he pandering. Guess he needs to sell books.

Pretty pathetic to see a man with his service record say that.

Yea...I agree. It's just a stupid statement IMO.

He says--"And an M4 carbine fires a .223 caliber round, which is 5.56 millimeters, at about 3,000 feet per second. When it hits a human body, the effects are devastating. It's designed to do that. And that's what our soldiers ought to carry."

I mean really....aren't most hunting calipers devastating. Would anybody say a .270 or a 30-06 isn't devastating. In all honesty....if someone went to a school...and shot 7 year olds with a 30-06...or even a 9mm carbine....wouldn't the out come have been the same.

That maniac put 2 rounds in every victim.
If the deciding factor is to get rid of calipers which wouldn't devastate a 7 year olds 40 lb body......man we would need to ban everything from .22 magnums up.

I think he should stay in his lane.

Unarmed subjects are easier to invade - he should apply his life lessons to his home country, which he /should/ be defending and supporting.

I saw his interview on Hanity last night.. I turned it before he was finished.. The guy is full of himself.. Now he's pandering to the liberals to sell books.. Who cares what he thinks about gun control...

He's obviously not to bright shooting his mouth off to Rolling Stone and thinking nothing would come of it..
