“I think serious action is necessary. Sometimes we talk about very
limited actions on the edges and I just don’t think that’s enough,” these were the words of General Stanley McChrystal, former commander of U.S. troops in Afghanistan. He was talking about gun control. He said the M4 Carbine he often carried in the military held a .223
caliber round capable of doing “devastating” damage to a human body. “It’s designed to do that, and that’s what our soldiers ought to carry. I personally don’t think there’s any need for that kind of weaponry on
the streets and particularly around the schools in America. I believe that we've got to take a serious look. I understand
everybody's desire to have whatever they want, but we’ve got to protect
our children, we’ve got to protect our police, we've got to protect our
population. And I think we have to take a very mature look at that.”

Schwarzenegger is also the guy who commuted the sentence of a political ally's son who'd been convicted of manslaughter.
