Well, I probably exaggerated a bit - I have never fired that while holding it in my hands - probably wouldn't have any arms if I had tried

Though, have done it with both tripod and AA mounting. Kicks harder than a horse.

I believe that law abiding Americans should be free to have M2s mounted on the backs of their pickup trucks. I believe in freedom.

I have a 7mm rem that i hate to shoot more than twice.
I can imagine that hurts like hell.

Actually, it doesn't hurt. In the AA mounting, you can hold the trigger down and fire a pretty good number of rounds, but on tripod, it's short rounds because the recoil raises the barrel/gun.

IMHO noone can use this gun handheld.

So I have a question for those who brought up knives, baseballs bats, blow torches, or whatever in arguing against greater gun regulations.

What weapon was used in each of the tragic incidents above? (plays Jeopardy music in background)

Looks like deep winter brings out the best in people.

Yeah, this isn't helping your "I need a big magazine, plus a little bandolier accessory" argument. The guy could be on PCP and one hit of buckshot would still drop him. Two if you were really unlucky.

You never want to be caught with one less round than you needed.

Even Rambo had his M2 mounted on a vehicle.

Mr Fun's graphic points to guns not being the problem, but something that happened in 1998 on or before March 24. What happened in 1998 in that timeframe? It's pretty clear what evils are at work here:

Smoking banned in Cali bars and restaurants: WAR ON DRUGS. Misunderstood by some who think they need to go to war, while on drugs.

Water found on moon, liquid found on Europa: ALIENS. Undermines the religious beliefs of some who now cannot be moral.

Unabomber and WTC I planner both found guilty, OBL issues fatwa. Teddy bomber: TERRORISTS.

Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky: SEX. Makes many socially inept men feel inferior as they can't even sorta-maybe-kinda-if-you-define-it-right boink ugly and/or fat chicks.

S&P breaks 1000: GREED. The rich are getting richer, the poor aren't so poor they can't afford lots of ammo.

Dale Earnheart wins the Daytona 500 after 20 tries: NASCAR. Rednecks with guns celebrate. Things escalate from there.

OMG!

Classic post by Aeson.

Yeah, great work from Aeson, but March 24 1999 was a more significant date, for reasons I'd probably prefer not to discuss.
