@glitterbag,
Quote:Have you ever fired an M-*******-16???
Yes I've fired a ******* M-16, I was in the Army and actually carried the M203, which is an M-16 with the the grenade launcher slung underneath. So I know what I'm talking about. I qualified as expert with both the M-16A2 and the M4 and the Beretta M9, as well as the M240 Bravo, we used them on our Chinooks for the door guns, I was a crew chief on the Chinook before I got out.
I'm 45 and was actually deployed while I was a member of this board. I was in Pakistan for 5 months in late 2005/early 2006 after the massive Earthquakes they had. Operation Lifeline, look it up.

You've mentioned this many times, I fail to see how it relates to firearm ownership for the vast majority of Americans who commit no crimes? Other than being an emotional plee, I don't know what else it serves. You had mentioned before that he stole the gun from his unit, sounds like it as illegal all the way around.

I was actually in an aviation unit, Chinooks, we had a plenty active roll while I served. If you recall the Navy Seals that went down on a Chinook, that was my unit, Extortion 17.
Everyone in the military has to qualify twice a year with all weapons you have to fire. As noted above, I was qualified on the M16, M4, M9 M203, M240 Bravo. As a crew chief we carry and use all of the weapons systems either on our person, M4 and M9, or on the helicopter M240 Bravo.
As I stated before, if Snood was being honest, which he isn't, he would know the AR15 is not used in the military and has several differences from the M-16, mainly that there is no selective fire switch like there is on the M16 and M4, none which can be owned by civilians.
