More than 1,100 former and current Army Special Forces troops -- Green Berets -- have reportedly put their names to a letter condemning any efforts to restrict gun ownership following the massacre of 20 students and six staff at Sandy Hill Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
1100 Green Berets Signed this Letter We have a list of all their names and unlike any MSM outlets we can confirm that over 1100 Green Berets did sign. The list includes Special Forces Major Generals & Special Forces Command Sergeants Major down to the lowest ranking "Green Beret". The letter stands for itself. Read it and send it everywhere. Team Sergeant
I guess we know where they stand for any attempts to confiscate weapons, as some fear U.S. troops would participate in. Unless they are shoveled so deep in B.S. during a full blow crisis of epic scale?

This is why I love my military, and every time I see one I say thank you no matter how awkward it may seem.
Even Generals have signed this! When will people listen and realize that people that know from experience are trying to warn us and stop this nonsense!

Here is a link to the letter.
"it is our considered opinion that reducing magazine capacity from 30 rounds to 10 rounds will only require an additional 6 -8 seconds to change two empty 10-round magazines with full magazines.
"Would an increase of 6 -8 seconds make any real difference to the outcome in a mass shooting incident? In our opinion it would not."

Geez, if it take the Greenies 6-8 seconds to swap a mag their training is horrible.
I'm just a recreational shooter and even in a competition I can insert a new mag before the empty hits the ground.

He said two mags I think man. That is pretty fast I guess. Or maybe it is standard? I really don't know.

I didnt know that the US had green barets. I actually though that was from
France. Those guys are wack. I know a couple that joined just to avoid
Serious jail time in their own country. Apparently the french will give
You a fake name and clean passport onve you complete a certain amount of
Time with them. Classic bunch.

Good thing Green Berets don't make or interpret the laws.
If they fail to enforce the law, they are susceptible to dishonorable discharge.
Before you take an Oath, know what it says.

Ah so a smaller magazine would do little to slow you down other then carrying more mags...
Mag limits wouldnt accomplish anything but a false sense of having done something.
