They said it worked...

Yep... I read about this before,. Crazy stuff,. It did work from what the read said, but the barrels tended to blow up prematurely???? Not sure why.

The sad part is , is that she doesn't need to know any facts. If ordinary citizens see that she wants to ban heat seeking bullets they will support her. They will see no reason for anyone to have them. With that understood the aiti's in congress can stuff real anti-gun admendments in the bill that will go unnoticed by most voters.

The Germans made a MP 44 with a curved barrel during WWII, it was used in a tank destroyer, I can't remember which model, because they had designed tank destroyer without a MG, so there was no protection from allied troops who got too close and used grenades. Got it from The History Channel can't remember the title, but it was about machine guns

Well for a fact some folks do use Barrett 50 cals to hunt elk up in Montana. Can't think of a better rifle for 1000+ yard shots personally. As far as incendiary's vs heat seekers, what a ditzy broad. Now I've got a few hundred rounds of tracers in 45ACP and 357SIG and need to find somewhere I can play with them without getting Smokey the Bear after my butt. Last thing I need to do is start a fire in drought ridden Texas right now. I think I need to go feral hog hunting, after we get some serious rain that is.

Actually she is probably both. Since when has an anti ever worried about having their facts straight?

On here we know the difference and laugh at her, but she is dangerous because sheeple believe her. She says a Tracer can cook an bear from the inside and the sheeple get scared of it happening to them. The sheeple have votes and she knows it. I don't know if she believes the BS she is spouting but the people listening do. We need to nake sure she is shown wrong publically so the sheeple see what she is really doing.

I wouldn't want heat seeking bullets. With my luck, I would fire in self defense, only to end up destroying some guy's barbecue grill, instead of hitting the bad guy!

Hmm, heat seeking bullets, let me think of the number of ways that is just wrong. In order to target humans it would be looking for roughly 98 degrees, it couldn't differentiate between humans, and what if I am in the middle east where it is 120 outside?

Now incendiary bullets, I like firing those outta ma deuce, they look pretty when they hit things. Is it to much to ask for an educated populace?
