    As usual, Tucker gets the relationship between the AR15 and M16 wrong. The M16/M4 is the military version of the AR15. The AR15 came first, was designed for the civilian market, with no guarantee that a military version would be created. THIS FACT ALONE makes the "weapons of war" moniker totally inaccurate AND disqualifies Tuckers entire statement.

      this is incorrect. the original AR-15 was select-fire (it wasn't actually named the M16 until it was formally adopted) and was designed directly in response to a request by the US Continental Army Command for a .223-caliber rifle to replace the M14. i personally take umbrage with the myth that "there's a distinction between the AR-15 and the M16" as it implies there are two separate categories under the second amendment, "civilian firearms" and "military firearms", and that one is more acceptable to regulate than the other, when it should be that neither are acceptable to regulate.

    • @AtlasJotun
      @AtlasJotun 3 місяці тому +5

      It certainly was on the civilian market first, although that's because ArmaLite/Fairchild Republic needed to make money on the project while waiting on the Army to waffle about after trials (with the Air Force being the first branch to adopt the rifle, the snappy-looking green Colt 601 specifically). The goal from the outset was to succeed where the AR-15's 'big brother' AR-10 had failed in its bid to replace the M14. Gene Stoner, Bob Sullivan and Robert Fremont redesigned the AR-10, scaling it down to a new cartridge that Stoner spun up the brass for himself out of a .222 Remington parent case, to comply with the Army's new request for a smaller caliber rifle.
      To be clear I think your point still stands in that the first AR-15s ever sold were sold to citizens, not receiving their Army XM16 designation until a few years later. It's just not accurate to say the gun was designed for us.

That charge got dropped, and it looked like the decision was to give him a demotion, tell him to GTFO, and sweep it all under the rug. So, officially he was dinged for the "Conduct unbecoming of an Officer" (The dittling of someone under his command.)
      And, to be fair, depending on his role in the Marines, he wouldn't need to be the firearms expert he makes himself out to be. But to claim because he was in Fallujah when everything went down (twice) makes him an expert would be perjury.

    i too am VERY Skeptical that markmenship is less important to the marine corp than the ability to change mags.

      You haven't seen the videos of Marines training at the range for hours? They take a big stack of magazines, with 1 cartridge in each. Band, eject, insert, release bolt, repeat, repeat, repeat. Then the weeks of retraining them to NOT eject the magazine after every shot.

    I would bring in an ophthalmologist to contest Colonel Tucker's statements about the function of eyes in darkness but the good Colonel would probably say that his own opinion reigns supreme as he has used in eyes in combat rather than actually studied and done scientific testing

      If I was the state bring a physiatrist on the grounds that Colonel tucker is incapable for being responsible for his own statements by reason of insanity

    Did he ever say a "Human" was decapitated or cut in two?? Maybe it was a really really really small mouse?

    So... The good 'colonel' doubles down on perjuring himself. Not only that, but he even contradicts his previous statements. How embarrassing.

      I hear, like with candles, they're experimenting with soy-based crayons.

    It sure was fun. Even when he confused civilian self defence and military operation, parently. Maybe he has early dementia, and that's why he is retired.
    Love that picture of Potter keeping those toys in his mouth. He looks so proud, "look, i saved these, from Zora".

      Dementia wasn't the reason he was "asked to retire at a lower rank." Officially, it was because he did the "horizontal mambo" with someone under his command. There were other, more serious charges being considered when the USMC decided best to tell him to GTFO and wash their hands of the matter.
