...Obama video, where he is supposedly admitting to a group of people that he was born in Kenya.

What is lacking is the dripping "sarcasm" thingy, such as this: .

...Mike Weisser - aka "Mike the Gun Guy."

For an apparent gun nut, he does seem to somewhat attempt to moderate his views on this ammo issue:

The 5.56x45 was adopted by the military because of its lethality, and it's a stretch to think of it as a 'sporting' round.

The reference is used in the context of right wing craziness.

To them, Obama is a muslimkenyancommunist who wants to take everyone's guns, establish America as a Muslim caliphate and implement Sharia law while throwing all non-believers in FEMA camps so their organs can be harvested.

But conservatives are on to him...

I can think of no other reason. He's a moron who lives on spite and loves to hate.

Oh, wait, it was sarcasm, making fun of morons who live on spite and love to hate.

I just wonder why hunters need armor piercing bullets. Dinosaurs have been gone for 65 million years now and they're about the only thing those bullets would have proven indispensable for.

Besides, we now know they were warm blooded and covered with proto-feathers, not six inch thick green scales a la Japanese flicks.

It's puzzling. They really don't like their toys taken away, even when those toys are useless and dangerous.
