Heard great things about Engage, but I hate driving along I-270, and dont have the money for an AR (or hell, any of its parts) to give him my dollarz.

The gentleman from College Park is spot on. An AR-15 is a tool, and is very adaptable to the user, and may be modified for target shooting, hunting or to properly fit women or a youth. It is nothing like an M-16 "military style rifle", like O'Malley keeps spouting. It is a modern sporting rifle. Plus, the police has no duty to protect an individual. The police only has a duty to protect the public at large.

Could you guys please stop telling them they should ban handguns?

Seriously. Not a good thing to say...

Its meaningless, they can't ban handguns, it has already been decided in SCOTUS with the Heller decision.

Looks like most of the delegates have left.

I think that's the buzzer for when the time is up

Oh God yes...you sit at the table to testify and there's this monitor in front of you counting down from 1:00 when you start. When it hits 0:00 it makes that cell phone from Hell noise.

 

[Haides]

I've been here for 12 hours, I'm tired and hungry, and by golly I'm gonna testify!

...although I hope I get to soon, cause my tummy be rumblin'.

Honestly, I cringe every time I hear that an AR is "nothing like an M-16". That statement is patently false, it is 95% identical, the only difference being the fire control group. Granted, this one part makes a big difference in capability, but they are still mostly the same.

O'Malley should be made to watch this whole testimony...

All those who voted for this in the senate should be made to watch this "A Clockwork Orange" style, eyes clamped open and all.
