Conservative Spokesman: Jesus Will Carry an AR-15 [Commentary]

Jesus is coming, and he's packing some serious heat!

A spokesman for one of the country's more noted social conservative organizations said as much at a conference of "pro-family" legislators.

Jerry Boykin, of the so-called Family Research Council, told the gathered faithful that Jesus was a "man's man," and accordingly would be ready for serious action, carrying an AR-15 (the civilian version of the M16 assault rifle).

But never mind the political and religious implications here - let's talk hardware.

So when Jesus comes back, he'll be carrying an AR-15, widely regarded since the sixties as a lemon among assault rifles (in VietNam, they were so prone to jamming that a lot of the grunts took to carrying the vastly superior AK-47 captured from the VietCong).

If I were Satan, I'd stock up on Kalashnikovs now...
