Talking Local News shows they are stupid

Was just now watching the local news with wifee pooo.. WFTV ch7 was reporting how Melbourne PD (Florida not austriala) just armed some officers with "assult" weapons.....they went on to explain that the M-16 (which loked like Car-15 to me) were Two Hundred Twenty Three Calaber. (yep 2 Hundred and 23 Calaber)........even wifee poo said that sounded rather big. Now I dont know how big a 200hundred calaber weapon is....but Im sure that I would not mess with anyone who can shoot the thing or carry around the rifle with a 30 rd clip.....Ill track their web site to see if they put it out like they reported it.

Angry

Sounds like one of the idiots that wrote copy during the "Beltway Sniper Scare".

Remember the ultra-powerful 223 caliber bullets that did massive damage to targets up to a mile away because the "spun through the air" at 5000FPS!? I want one of those!

My math is fuzzy....but if Calaber ....223 is .223 inch then 223 calaber is 18.5 inch...must be a Texas Ar-15

That twohundredtwentythree caliber is a cruise missle with a HE tip.

They come in HE, microwave (for taking out como) and nuclear. Each can be ordered in pastels or flat colors.

As long the 223 missile doesn't come in flat black, then it might be an evil military assault weapon. A nice pastel blue makes it a crib toy for my 7 month old, sans the nuclear tip. I gotta draw the line somewhere. The three year old gets a bight red one to tow behind the Big Wheel, never know when he might hafta off the mean preschool teacher (and the rest of the block the school sits on).

Lenny it's all in fun--one liners remember? You have to admit the article is too ridiculous to be taking seriously.

The Dems use two different ones, one hits the ground and opens up and two IRS agents walk out and start collecting taxes.

The other opens up and two hundred BATF agents walk out and start confiscating guns only after a no knock search warrant goes bad and they retreat and then regroup and then send in tanks.
