What was Lloyd Woodson planning?
I don’t know.
His Navy career was brief. He enlisted in 1988, went AWOL in 1989, turned himself in and was discharged in 1997. His estranged wife who had a restraining order against him said he never laid a hand on her. He had some semi-auto weapons that scared the Jersey media (like that’s hard). One weapon was called a “possible grenade launcher” – but judging by the media’s past performance, it could have been two waste bins taped together. He was wearing a bulletproof vest.
Curious. But you can bet that somehow it’ll all blamed on that year in the Navy over twenty years ago.

It wasn’t a grenade launcher. It was a 37mm tube, which isn’t considered one (unlike a 40mm, which is a NFA Class 3 Destructive Device). Mostly used by cops or civies to launch some less lethal rounds, smoke, or flares.
Some are made to look like M203s, if you’re the type that likes the look of borderline useless objects that look cool on your rifle.
Anyway, the media will keep calling it a grenade launcher because they’re mostly a collection of morons who can’t tell the difference between a 10/22, an Uzi, and an M16, choosing to call them all “AK-47s”.
I hear Napolitano is already going the PTSD/Tim McVeigh/right-wing terrorist route. Then again, DU was claiming the guy was a WHITE right-wing racist.
Holy shit Sparky, I thought you were joking.

I have $10 on the AR-15 (semi-auto rifle like the military’s) that could punch through concrete walls was an AR-10 or an AR-15 chambered in something lake .50-Beowulf.
and ohhh noes not NVG’s which are completely legal and unrestricted in the US.
I hope they never come to my house and arrest me for having “extra ammo” for my .22lr pistol!
Maybe he was just planning a garage sale for the NRA?
Pretty much unrelated, but it reminds me of the DC sniper case. Remember how the media was touting the fact that he was trained Army “sharpshooter?”
Ok, I’ve held my tongue on this one long enough. The reason I haven’t commented is I thought that the press might be able to pull their head out of their ass for once, but I see that ain’t gonna happen. 99.99% of the time, the press couldn’t find their ass with both hands and a grid map when it involves weapons, firearms, or anything that they think is “scary”. The reasons are obvious; they are anti-private citizen ownership of guns and if they can make people fearful about guns, then they have accomplished their mission. They write whatever they want, based on their own prejudices about firearms, etc. Most anti-gun politicians are no better. They haven’t got a fricken clue about weapons, or the differences in them, yet they make grand statements in front of cameras and look very serious about it, yet say the dumbest shit.
Ok, I’m gonna stop right now. I just looked at the calender and saw that today is my day to be pissed off. Last month TSO followed me on the calender, this month I follow him. (We switch off in order to keep balanced, but I see that next month, we are both scheduled to be pissed off on the same day).
…..the press couldn’t find their ass with both hands and a grid map….
Just tell them to scratch their head, they should be able to find their ass that way.
OT: Bwaaaaaah, that’s funny right there.
OldTrooper,

Thanks, Spade, but they left out the Light Sabre and the squirt gun.
I went head to head with my congressman, back in ’93 and even threw out a challenge to Chucky Schumer in front of my congressman over this type of shit. It was back when Schumer opened his piehole on national tv and lumped all dfferent types of firearms together as “assault weapons”, like saying ho accurate uzi’s and Ak-47’s are etc.
Well, I went all medeval on his dumbass and said that he could stand on one end of a football field with an Uzi and I’ll stand on the other end with an AK-47 and we could shoot at each other, since they are both the same, and I bet him I could hit him before he hit me. Obviously he didn’t take me up on my challenge, but just the stupid, retarded shit that flows out of his yapper all the while people label him a gun “expert” when he would probably hurt himself trying to rack a round with an AK. The dumbass would probably inflict himself with a mortal wound in a squirt gun fight.
