Florida, the only state that can make Idaho’s elected representatives seem normal in comparison. Sigh.

I wonder how they'd feel if Democrats started sending them welcome baskets filled with gay porn, massive dildos and gummy dicks?

What's the fuss? I got a wonderful basket of grenades and landmines in my "Welcome to the Neighborhood" basket.

If you sent real grenades right now, some of them would think they were the fake ones and blow themselves up. This is why we don't play with dangerous looking objects.

….given the responsibility state elected officials have for military oversight, if they are that ignorant I support this.

And I suspect it would take out members of both parties fairly evenly.

They were 40mm grenades. Given the built in safety features, you couldn’t blow yourself up unless you put them in a fire.

Shrug. He is on the armed forces committee and they are Made in HIs state. They are 40mm grenades, which is really more of a projectile.

I would think your suggestion of gay porn would have to come from a representative from Texas. You know, only steers and ______ come from Texas.

Peacefully protested without a single one of them being convicted and the judge nearly holding the federal prosecutors in contempt for withholding evidence and the FBI getting in trouble for lying under oath.

I read this and immediately assumed the jersey shore fat friend reference.

I mean, personally, I think an inert 40mm round would be kinda dope to have. These aren’t grenades like you’re thinking. What he sent were individual rounds that are fired from a mk19, an automatic grenade launcher that fired linked 40mm, usually explosive, rounds.

I can see that, but I honestly don’t think it was meant in any sort of way. He’s an Iraq vet, his state and constituents produce these rounds. I know plenty of soldiers that would give inert 40mm as a gift just because it’s cool. Maybe there is a bit of an implication, but I don’t think it’s as malicious as people are claiming.

I could also be 100% wrong I don’t know the man at all.

Yeah. That’s what I said. I gave my opinion, and even said I could be totally wrong. I highly doubt it’s malicious. But it could be. Only person who knows for sure is the congressman himself.

But it’s wrong to claim it’s 100% malicious, because just like me, you don’t know.

This will not be so funny when something blows up or there is violence again at the capitol. We have only ensured it will happen again.

You can just own fucking grenades as a civilian in the US?

Is it a bad sign that I’m surprised the grenades were inert and not live?
