I used to troll DU back when this was first posted but somebody in their "Guns" forum resurrected this old thread.  It has this classic post - although I must admit if the Brady's were smart they would attack our rights via this angle.

Note: this is not a real bill - just some DU whackjob's rather evil idea

"79. Bunker Buster Ban

I'm glad you admit that caliber does not equal power.
And its great to see that my suspicion, that gun huggers would go through all kinds of incredible gyrations to evade the intent of the law (i.e. developing the .49 Big Bullet or the .499 Bigger Bullet or the .499999 Biggest Bullet Ever), is confirmed.

Here is the fix for your tomfoolery, a ban based on the power of the cartridge rather than the size:

Bunker Buster Ban
Part I
This bill bans the manufacture, transfer or possession of any assembled cartridge (cartridge being defined as a bullet, casing, powder & primer combination), that when fired from an 18” barrel, produces total energy (as measured from the muzzle) in excess of 5000 ft-lbs. This measurement takes place at sea level with an ambient temperature of 85 degrees.

Part II
Any weapon capable of firing banned "Bunker Buster" ammunition (ammo falling under the definition above), is also banned.

Part III
Individual, separate ammunition components (including cases, bullets and primers, but excluding loose powder) manufactured for, or suited for assembly into, banned Bunker Buster Bullets, are banned."

Again, I don't understand why anyone wastes time at DU. The whole "know thine enemy" thing is a crock.

Bunker Buster ammo!? Where can I get me some?!

group buy?

Occasionally spending time at their gun forum over the past few years has convinced me that our side is winning.  Why?  Because their side is starting to sound like ARFCOM on many issues.  This retarded poster in question was jumped on for posting anything like this.  People over there like their pistols, shotguns and rifles.  One posted that he had an AR-15 and another - I swear to God - asked him if he had bumpfired it underwater yet!

Most of the folks over there now are looking to get rid of the gun control platform because they realize what a loser it has been.  They may think that Bushitler is using Iraqi babies to run the Halliburton Weather Machine but they at least realize that taking our guns is a really bad idea.  

We are winning, despite isolated asshaberdashery.

Two pallets, and a case for my 7-year-old.

The person who posted that is a confirmed twit.

That would bring out opposition from the blued steel and walnut big game hunter crowd, which is often at least somewhat "anti-black rifle".  

You basically just don't hunt big African game with less than 5000 ft-lbs of blasting power on tap unless you LIKE having large hoofprints on your face.

According to asshat Bill O'Reilly you can buy anti-tank weapons & other heavy ordnance at K-Mart.

"Gun-hugger"...I kind of like that...

Proud to be a Gun-hugger
