The song is a very clever parady of No Doubt’s hit Don’t Speak. I think we all have been that idiot at one time or another in our lives. I was cured of range idiocy at a young age by a zealous range officer. [ Many thanks to Al for emailing me the link. ]
An industry insider has confirmed that next year SIG will begin manufacturing SIG516 rifles chambered in .300 AAC BLK. These rifles will probably be introduced at SHOT Show. The more rifles running this cartridge the better 🙂
