DAMN YOU NRA!
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

I had to laugh. "DESIGNED TO TAKE DOWN A HELICOPTER!"

They don't mention, but I'm betting it wasn't an M2 Browning set up for anti-air that he bought.

But hey, maybe they are just handing those out at the border.

(Wait, didn't Monster Hunter International have a scene where a .50 BMG was used for anti-air purposes?!? SEE!!?? They weren't far off!)

EDIT: (Before everyone starts thinking the Larry Correia has no idea what he's talking about on guns in MHI, he notes just how unsuited a sniper rifle was for this task, but it was all the character had available.)
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Saw that coming a week or so ago. The picture they released after his capture had what looked like a Barrett M82 in the pile.

I bet a 22LR in the right spot could take down a helicopter.
A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

Milo's new toy and he didn't even get to shoot it first. I would have been pissed.

Oh hell, Rambo took down a chopper with a rock, a .50 cal would eviscerate a 757.
