Poodle Shooters

Anyone who considers the 5.56mm/.223 caliber M15 (SEMI-automatic) rifle a "Powerful Weapon" is either an ignoramus, or a Politician.
But I repeat myself.

Editorial: Finally, Democrats Speak About Gun Control:
Democrats, of course, have largely avoided the issue for many years, fearing the electoral consequences of being outgunned by the N.R.A. But in the wake of high-profile mass shootings involving powerful weapons — including a few committed by murderers with apparent terrorist leanings — and notorious killings by and of police officers in a number of cities, the party apparently thinks voters are ready to say that enough is enough. Clinton is said to be committed to making new gun restrictions a central theme of her campaign, and her choice for vice president of Sen. Tim Kaine, a former governor of Virginia who has long advocated stricter gun laws, lends credence to that scenario.
"Credence" my ...
Hillary, that bold political move is going to come back and bite you on the .....   oh, but I repeat myself.

Progressive democrats are on a tear, and emboldened by the fact they foresee Hillary will be elected president by a landslide. As for the 5.56 AR15 being a powerful weapon, democrats have never depended on the truth or been afraid to lie about anything and everything.

We finally have something to agree on, Sir Geek. Some poodles weigh 80#, and I'm not sure that the 5.56x45 is an adequate cartridge for them. Gun historians realize that Remington first produced the cartridge for VARMINT hunting. Biggest varmint I know of would be a jackrabbit. Large examples of those go ten pounds. Anything with less power than the 7.62x51 is not a battle cartridge.

Lets not leave the noble coyote out of the varmint mix. Some coyotes go as much as 45-50 pounds.

Woof Woof!

Yes, the .22-250 is, by comparison, a MANLY Poodle-Shooter!

No doubt about it, the 22-250 is a manly caliber with a loud bark.

Well said, Anonymous. You're obviously a creature of great discretion and an appreciation for Manly .22 caliber rifle cartridges.
