Kerry while still a commissioned officer in the Navy Reserves gave aid and comfort to the enemy.
He also accused I and 3.2 million Vietnam veterans of atrocities that 99.99 % of us never committed.

You won't find my photo hanging on a wall in a war memorial museum in Vietnam honoring those foreigners who helped Communist Vietnam to win their war. Kerry can't make the same claim.

Did they have firing pins?

Do you have a source that confirms this?

Or that -- I'm certainly not taking his word for it.

Go to Google images and look at the photos of Marines or any member of the U.S. military who marched in Obama's first inauguration parade in 2009. They all had the bolts in their rifles.

Look at all of the inauguration parades going back to President Wilson. Every member of the military still had the bolts with their rifles.

Search the internet or go to a library and try to find where members of the military were disarmed or had their rifles made inoperable by orders of the President or by the Secret Service..

That's not an answer.

Can you prove that the rifles being carried by Marines in the 2009 inaugural parade were fireable, and that making them non-functional is a new policy set forth by Obama, as opposed to the Secret Service?

No he cannot. Prepare for a slew of non sequiturs and/or personal attacks if your persist in your pursuit of proof.

The photo record is clear that bolts were in the rifles for BHO's 2009 inauguration so any change would have been ordered during the BHO administration thereafter. Whether the change originated in the WH or the Secret Service doesn't matter in a sense. It was a BHO administration decision either way.:peace

Just because the bolts are in the rifles does not make the rifles useable. Good luck firing it without a firing pin.

I made no claim about firing pins or fireability, but the question of bolts is closed.

It is; it's also irrelevant.
 
Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

I'm surprised the claim that the Marines used at the inauguration were fake. That's also another right-wing blogosphere claim. Which is a lie of course. I'm amazed how many people believe any lie told to them on the interwebz so long as they want to believe it.
 
Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

I am insulted the RWers imply the Marines are not well disciplined and loyal. We have a long tradition of that sort of thing.

Your #121 replied to his claim of rifles without bolts by calling that "right wing drivel." The photo record shows you were wrong. You made the claim.:peace
 
Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

His original claim, in post 95, was that Obama ordered the bolts removed from the rifles. There is zero evidence this is actually the case. The argument, such as it is, went on from there. Stop being a pedant.

Im not viewing things through the partisan glasses you are (per the usual). I know Hillary will be a formidable opponent. However, Rubio and Paul definitely have something for her. Neither is a Romney/Santorum/Gingrich. Every serious candidate the GOP has didn't show up for 2012 because Pres Obama looked to be unbeatable. In 2016, that isn't the case. It will be up for grabs. Hillary is formidable, but she's no Obama. Benghazi, mark my words, will be an issue. Regardless of what you think, something fishy happened there and she was the Sec of State when it happened. I don't believe any opponent on the right, and maybe even on the left, will let that go without it being mentioned.

Give it up dude. If there were anything there...it would have surfaced months ago. Do you really think that is what you can bank your hopes on.

The bolts were ordered removed during the Obama administration. Apacherat is leading on points.
