Legion of Doom
Did you know that not only can 50 caliber rifles Crack the engine of a plane and, absolutely positively, kill everyone on board easily, they are also a threat to Superman and other superheroes. Did I mention the Violence Policy Center has a blog?

That’s funny right there, I don’t care who you are!
Unless, of course, you’re actually the VPC. Those pricks have no sense of humor whatsoever.

From the “.223 Caliber Terror” page: “Hat tip to Jadegold.”
Now THAT’s ROFLMAO funny…

Do ya mean that there’s .50 BMG kryptonite ammo on the market? That’s not fair, I want some in .454 Casull too!

My favorite is “Elmer Keith is a cop killer”.
I don’t know why, but that sentence brings the lols.

There’s some good satire there.

someone there should do a in depth post on the super deadly “guns that are painted to look like toy guns”… and not forget to mention that painting them that way will make them super deadly, even if the owner has decades of safety training

Surely they jest? It warms my heart to see the joyce money being wasted on groups like the VPC.
Maybe next the VPC will tell us that gunlovin GI Joe, the real american hero, only likes guns because he has no manly equipment below the belt. And they think pro gunnies are the knuckle dragging, low foreheaded mouth breathers. HA!
I noticed they had no comments on nearly every post. Good!!

*SIGH*
Two points:
First, Supe is a goddamn alien monster. He needs to die, and all his supe alien and mutant friends with him. Except Spidey. He’s a home boy. We’ll keep him, as long as behaves himself. And Aquaman, we need somebody to keep the aquariums and dolphin pools clean, I guess.
Second, .50s are small potatoes. Pfft. Hand ’em out to kindergarteners as graduation presents.
Now, this–this is a gun. Note the poodle-shooter next to it for scale.

“Now, this–this is a gun. Note the poodle-shooter next to it for scale.”
Oh YEAH! But you’d need a pickup truck, like my trusty Ford F-150, to haul it around.

Many superheros and villains on that list have been repeatedly hit with tank cannons and similar over the course of their comic lives. The ones that haven’t are just as vulnerable to weak handguns as they are to 50 caliber rifles.
Superman and juggie are both entirely indestructible and the hulk is pretty close. Unless you deprive superman of sunlight for an extended period or expose him to kryptonite, he is pretty much invulnerable.

@ Jim W:
Jim, despite my previous post, I have to credit the VPC for teaching us that even the .50 is an almost magically powerful weapon, easily enabling poorly trained terrorists to routinely shoot jet airplanes out of the sky from over a mile away. Surely, they wouldn’t have claimed that it could injure Supe unless they had performed extensive tests to prove it.
Of course, I’m positive that the Anzio20mm can shoot clean through three superbeings at once, and leave bullet fragments in a fourth. I eagerly await the Box’o’Truth test photos.
