This is when reality is stronger than fiction.
To know our Country supports the 40 years old, failed "War on Drugs" and then reading this story, just make me sick. Why don't we wake up??

this is the most flagrantly photoshopped image I have ever seen

I agree. Very poorly done Photoshop work. It is to bad this photo (cough photo comp) was used on the side bar as well.

that dude is an actor - if he ever fired that gun, he'd get his face burnt off by the shell casing flying out the side of that RIGHT-HANDED gun...
Also, so badly photoshopped you can see where they've hardly touched the default output from render->clouds...

The man on the left is left-handed. You are able to fire the M-16 from either side without having the spent shell casings strike your face. It was incorporated into the design to accomodate left-handed shooters in the US Armed Forces.
