A Heat Seeking Device for Deer



I don't know how I missed this one, but Carolyn "Barrel Shroud" McCarthy introduces Assemblywoman Patricia Edington who is vying against Roger Ebert for Anti-Gun Ignoramus of the Month.

Thank God that the firewall here at school blocks Youtube videos (I assume it's youtube? I'll find out when I get home)

Fat,shrill,socialist. What's not to love? I was reloading some heat seeking cartridges the other day and thought, what's the point? Why not just look at the deer real hungry like, with a frying pan in my hand, and they'll happily die right there and throw themselves into the pan, like shmoos. How many of you know what a shmoo is? If you do,your age is showing.

I know what a schmoo is from the movie "Lucky Number Slevin." Morgan Freeman's character tells the story.

I can't even bring myself to click the "play" button. I don't want to hear anything about heat-seeking bullets.

I claim Li'l Abner RERUNS...

Elected officials believe "incendiary" means "heat-SEEKING..." !?!
It's that research-challenged thing again. The inability to crack a dictionary or do an online search. Or just an inability to tell a single truth, ever.
It's not about hunting, it's about the ability to resist. We don't NEED .50-cals with incendiary ammo for that, but we have the RIGHT to have them. If our worshipful masters would stop letting every podunk PD field an armored personnel carrier, maybe we wouldn't be so suspicious. Or maybe we would anyway. The lessons of history teach that when your TOWN government has its own military RV, something's up. To a police chief with a big hammer, every problem starts looking like a nail.

That is one beautiful rifle. I think they make an aftermarket .50-cal. upper for my AR-15...

.50 BMG for deer hunting? Nah. For bear? Sure.

Incendiary round for hunting? Well it would cauterize the wound channel, but then there would be no blood trail for tracking if needed.

Defender, yes they do. It's the .50 Beowulf round. Good out to 100 yds though, being that it is such a heavy round. A standard 30 round AR magazine will hold 10 rounds of the .50 Beowulf cartridges nicely.

God! I swear. If I had known that there was going to be one of those conferences in Garden City, I would've gotten myself in there and disputed those points.

Beowulf. "I've come to kill your monstah."

A Saudi Arabian high official suggests the death penalty for TV broadcasters who transmit "immoral content," if the sanctions now in place don't stop it.
For the good of society, you know. Society has no idea what's good for it, right, Carolyn, right, Patricia?

By the way, what's immoral in Saudi:

Christian crosses.
Beer commercials. (people died over that one in some islamist paradise. The hard-liners killed a few people watching European soccer via satellite in a garage. Commercials could tempt the faithful to break Allah's dietary laws.)
The only difference is what they're totalitarian ABOUT.

these are our betters, people. Our leaders, those who know what's best for us...

They ain't better than me. I'm smarter than a jackass, fo' sho'.

Loren said...

They make .50 BMG uppers as well, OrangeNeckInNY. They're single shot, but load the BMG cartridge. I could also buy three or four regular ARs for the cost of one of the BMG uppers.

That's quite an old video clip, at least a couple of years old. I'm finding stuff from Feb 2005 on it:

Bill Would Ban Sale of Powerful Rifle
ARCHIVE :: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 <<<<<< :: infoZine Staff
CommunityBy Logan C. Adams - Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y., was surprised she couldn't lift the gun sitting on a table at a press conference and asked if it was stuck in place. After several police officers told her the 34-pound ArmaLite AR-50 .50 caliber rifle wasn't attached, she let go.

Anonymous said...

Was this the same sandpoundingly stupid lady who said the .50 could be used to "bring down a 747"?

Apparently anything that flies through the air is beyond this simpletons comprehension.

It's amazing she finds her way to the Capitol every weekday.
I think it's all part of the sympathy ploy that put her in office in the first place. Her supporters don't care whether she's right, or even factually correct; all they know is, a gun attached to a man killed her husband.
In supporting laws to disarm the rest of us, she plays the grieving widow card to create more grieving widows and widowers, parents and sons and daughters.
Like in most other gun-free zones, ONE ARMED PASSENGER could have stopped Colin Ferguson's murder spree on that train before he got to her helpless husband.

There's no nice way to say this. These ladies are stupid as shit.

Straight out of an old Warner Brothers cartoon where the bullet chases the character around corners, up stairs, etc..... I want to believe this is an SNL spoof, sadly t is not.... Hey "Barrel Shroud" is kind of a snazzy nickname!! -Joe G.

Yeah--"BS" for short.

Just noticed another classic bit of bias, now-commonly used technique:

..."the NRA will likely fight, claiming the right to bear arms..."

...claiming the right......

it's just a claim...

very insidious, I'm seeing these qualifiers more and more

"Bush claims" (after years of saying he lied)

"Bush defends" he must already be guilty
etc. etc.

*jaw drops*

Is ... is she joking? I mean ... REALLY? That stupid? I would have expected one of their staffers at least look OVER their statements.

Don said...

You people just keep laughing and laughing. Meanwhile, our streets are awash with heat-seeking bullets. Gene Simmons once nearly killed Tom Selleck with those things. I saw it on TV.

It wasn't as bad as the robot spiders, but is there any reason we can't ban both?

Incendiary is heat-seeking????

I feel contaminated just watching this bulls&$t piece!

Anonymous said...

I have proof that they are NOT heat seeking bullets....
None have hit her in the mouth....where all that steaming hot BS is coming from.
