Ever see their video about the cancellation of the Dragon tank? That was so freaking funny I wanted to die laughing. :P And anyone who thinks the Onion is left-wing is kidding themselves. Go back in the archives at that site and see all the nice things they had to say about Clinton. The Onion is freaking hilarious. Ever see their video about the cancellation of the Dragon tank?

I love how they've got a diagram that shows bullet impact. Terrible, but funny. I also laughed when I saw the "Firearms not Politics" header but then see Brad going off on his delusional tangent. I seem to be a dying breed - a so called "left-winger" interested in shooting and reloading. It really pains me to see people that enjoy my hobby using such inflammatory terms and lumping everyone together. It is for this reason that I do not join the NRA. Many people there, including Wayne LaPierre, hold this biased, ignorant and rather crude view of those of us who do not share your ideological beliefs. So please, clean it up and use your head. I hope you spend as much time cleaning your firearm as you do making incorrect statements! Also, can anyone give me tips about reloading wildcat cartridges? I'd like to begin experimenting with my own loads but don't know where to start. Haha, that’s funny. I love how they’ve got a diagram that shows bullet impact. Terrible, but funny.

Note the would be murderer who is pictured like an Elmer Fudd. That by itself isn't so terrible. What is terrible is the crack about killers returning to methods like dragging someone behind a car. That is a reference to the dragging death of James Byrd with which the left-wing vilely tried to implicate Bush as a sympathetic racist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Byrd_Jr.#Campaigning What the Onion parody all boils down to is the ugliest left-wing smears about American gun culture: that greedy corporations profit from the nations criminal violence and the average ammo buyer is a murderous white-trash racist. The Onion parody is about as funny and in good taste as a modern day black-face routine. Not funny

The Onion has some really classy material. I'm not sure if the video is a dig at guns in general or the ammunition market's constant parading of new bullet tech. Regardless, it's pretty funny I have to say. Just don't tell them about API rounds or "inferno" bullets will be the new "cop killer" bullets! “the lung-shreddingest bullets on the market”
