But the longest range sniper kill ever recorded was not fired from a Barrett, which has never held that distinction.

It was from a McMillan Tac-50, in fact it broke the record twice on one day in the hands of the PPCLI. Prior to that the record was held by an American sniper using a modified .50 Browning machine gun.

MAGIC IS REAL!
Jesus prefers high powered rifles, especially when used against heathens! PRAISE THE LORD!

Jesus prefers the stopping power of the AK-47.


I beg to differ. Jesus wouldn't use something that couldn't dismember with a single round. No, I believe that Jesus would pick this. http://www.videosift.com/video/Barrett-M95-Divine-intervention-not-included

Yeah I thought this movie was garbage, mainly because I couldn't get over all the completely unrealistic situations they were in. One of which is the fact that most soldiers, let alone EOD techs, are not going to be able to seamlessly become a sniper/spotter team, especially with a Barrett .50.

I *know* this will be long. But understanding things should never be allowed to be reduced to sound bites and short sentences.

Police raided a school as an exercise? Not even some warrents? Sounds like some individuals whom need to be held accountible for their jobs. Which could be fines, jail time, lose of job, and so on. People make mistakes, and do dumb things. Can you honestly say you haven't done dumb things in your life so far?

The narrator is trying to use fear, to get the proper response out of you, the audience. To some degree, as with posters above, he succeeds at the task. He uses a collection of words and phrases, and links them to imagery, sounds, and even old pictures. In ways, this concept is known as NLP, or, Neuro-logical programming (look it up in wikipedia, its both fascinating and scary stuff).

Police have to keep up with technology and tactics, as their duty in our country, is to up hold the law. The legistators create laws, the executive signs such law in to effect. Its the law enforcement (i.e. the police, FBI, and other local/state/federal agencies) whom maintain the law. The justices decide on whether the laws are within Consitituional limits, or if they breach them. All these sets of checks & balances do not work, if the citizens of the country let in to the fear this narrator wants you to feel. I know the police in my town. Friendly bunch whom work very hard to keep things normal and safe. They are very much studied and watched. We pay them very well, and make sure they have the proper tools to do their job correctly, honestly, lawfully, and to be responsible.

The 'police state' effect, that the narrator talks about, did come in to effect during the Bush Administration. The US Patriot Act was passed in to law very quickly, shortly after Sept. 11, 2001. One of its passages allowed the goverment to circumvent the 4th Amendment, allowing the White House to 'spy' on over 300 million Americans. This was conducted in an effort to catch and eliminate "...those whom are a threat to our country." This narrator does not hold Mr. Bush, nor the White House accountible to each and every time, this action took place.

If I recall the issue of military 'APC's for Waco, Tx correctly. The Branch Davidians were holed up in a central structure compound with numberous fire arms. Now, this by itself was not illegal. The agents conducting the warrents and arrests initally were met with the civilian sold version of the Barrett M82A1 'light fifty' rifle. This weapon, to my knowledge, is a single shot weapon (the military version can fire rounds from a magizine....I think?). I'm sure the gun nuts on here could inform us, of the gun's name. Anyways, this weapon, like its military cousin, could blow holes through armored police cars. The APCs were used to conduct operations and hopefully bring the matter to a non-violent conclusion. As the history books show, this did not happen. But the police, and FBI, did not racket up their skills and tools in a vacuum. After the event was over, there were a number of studies on the issue, and people held properly (depending on one's viewpoint I guess) of their actions and inactions that led to the events.

If you, the citizen really are consern about the nature of the police or law enforcement, then why not go visit the police. Talk to them, become active in your community and seriously look at how a police state could be formed, and take proper, legal, honest action to oppose it. Believe it or not, the police I know, are AGAINST a police state. And they are in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (since, some of you conversatives think us Mass residents are all commie, liberal, socialistic, islamic happy, tree hugging, yuppy, homosexual liking, religios hating, psych-paths....did I leave anything out?). In fact, thsoe whom are liberal REALLY are against the police state. We voted to remove Republicans at the federal level, out of office (since the Bush admin *IS* Republican).


Finally, recall its Thomas Jefferson that said, (paraphrasingly) that if we are afraid to speak our minds in pursuit of our nations freedoms and equalities, then we allow tyranny to win.

Everyday I come home and stare at the possibility of downloading all the seasons of Future Weapon. It intrigues me to see where military development is heading.

But I think of his stupid face and voice and I stop myself short.

I agree completely, but I'm starting to get a kick out of him... he's like Steve Irwin's retarded brother, only with guns instead of deadly snakes.

OK, seriously guys. Majel Barrett passes away on Thursday and this just gets one vote, my own? The hell?

I just did a search on about half of the cast and crew (unlike joedirt and volumptuous) and found this much so far:


1. Written by Marc Shaiman. He gave a total of $1500 to oppose Prop 8:

http://www.sfgate.com/webdb/prop8/?appSession=33553200823611

2. Directed by Adam Shankman. He gave a total of $1000 to oppose Prop 8:

3. Margaret Cho acted in this. She gave $1000 to oppose Prop 8:

4. Neil (Patrick) Harris acted in this. He gave $2500 to oppose Prop 8.

5. Director of photography: Michael Barrett. He gave a total of $300 to oppose Prop 8

http://www.sfgate.com/webdb/prop8/?appSession=21053206117786


Five people alone in the cast and crew gave $6300 to oppose Prop 8. Wow.

What was that about "none of these people lifted a finger to prevent this from passing"?
Think before you slander.
