Rep Greg Steube (R-FL) shows his guns during House Judiciary Cmte hearing on gun control

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) says "I hope the gun isn't loaded"

Rep Steube responds, "I'm at my house. I can do whatever I want with my guns"

I am NEVER going to FL again. Seriously.

Gohmert's righteous indignation against *checks notes* Democrats supporting killing people, I think? Anyway, it's bad.

I didn't know a fecking Raccoon had armored skin.

Almost every serious farmer or hunter I know swears that if you're hunting racoons, you don't need or want anything more powerful than a .22LR round, and you hardly need an AR-15 for that. This is especially the case when you're being assisted by dogs. Just in case.

Coyotes, okay, maybe, I could see an AR-15 for keeping coyotes away. But, again, a soupcon of overkill.

I just did a sanity check on this one, bouncing my response off of two of my godchildren, both veterans (one AF, one LAARNG) annd the National Guard veteran is also an avid hunter. Her sister, my other goddaughter, is a hunter, as well, even more avidly, but not a veteran; she has yet to get back to me, but it's mid-day and she has a newborn baby-child so she's perhaps doing mommy duty right now. By which, of course, I mean killing racoons that are trying to seize the baby.

I know they can be configured for multiple calibers, but if I recall correctly AR-15s usually either 22LR or 5.56mm NATO. For all of the cultural connection around them, they are really just varmint rifles with silly quasi-military aesthetics.

Though personally, I've found air rifles good enough for raccoons.. at least if your goal is to protect livestock as opposed to hunting for sport/food.

You would need a conversion kit to make it 22LR the standard is .223 cal and 5.56MM

.22 LR don't do the kind of damage that is being described about the bodies of the children. When their flesh is so shredded they have to be identified through DNA, that's not a .22 anything.

You don't need a conversion kit, you just by another model. One of the problems with talking about ARs is they are more of a 'platform' or spec than a specific gun. It is like buying a 'PC' at this point, the parts are all interchangeable and within a conversation you can be talking about guns with radically differnt capabilities.

I've been told that by students but in 25+ years of teaching-I have never said anything like that.

I think I have cussed once in the classroom when 3 weeks ago I told a kid to sit his ass down because he got scissors and was going to cut someone's hair.

The nuns in my Catholic schools could make Sailors blush with the profanities they would spew out to me...

Vows of Chastity and obedience will do that to you...

I'm staying in Hawaii. Could have a better life elsewhere ... except for the damn guns.

Suranis (autocorrect version is Sudan) is right. Also, too, the vows of chastity, obedience and poverty do not include cursing.

Gotta love auto-correct!
