OK, THAT's why the front end looks the way it does. Mine was just a half ton. sorry for all the confusion I caused.

Oh, did I mention I got rid of mine back in 1972?

Hard to tell if you guys are taking my OP serious or not, but just in case here is a disclaimer:

My post is political satire pertaining to other upcoming bans on your beloved stuff <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I want an assault vehicle. I guess I need to buy one before the ban <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I just need to scrape enough together to get a Stryker or a Bradley.

Found one for you MB

And for the bargain price of $350,000 it can be yours.

We got you from the get go, but I was trying to keep it light. It's an excellent mockery of the whole anti-2nd amendment agenda being pushed by people who can't attain their other evil goals until that one is out of the way, and God help us if that ever comes to pass as that means the entirely unalterable Bill of Rights has been destroyed. Basically, having a well armed society is the only thing keeping what freedom and politeness we still have alive. Neither vehicles nor guns kill people without another human misusing said machine. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

I want one of these.

I heard rumors that there was a sting operation on coaches and trainers caught selling juice to young hmmvee's. Yup, looks like another case of hummeroids... and the pumped up price might feel even worse. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Some interesting stats:

Alcohol:
National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc. (NCADD)

Hmm... So then FIREARMS are the LEAST leading cause of death in the U.S.

Bet you'll never hear that in the Gun Control push.

Oh and That was a surprising bit of information. I had NO idea the figures were that high, except for the traffic deaths. It's a pretty bad record for our society.

Many walked right by it, but I had to snap a photo. Back at Knob Creek at machine gun shoot time...awhile ago, when the SOS series was offered...year or so ago...can't recall exactly...this was there.

Man, that is one slick vehicle!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
