Incredible.
Are you a hunter? If so you object to my putting long range sniper rifles in the grey area because that would put hunting rifles in a grey area? Let me say this then...Long range sniper rifles are in my opinion a grey area because 1) they have progressed to the point in this day and age where they greatly surpass any high powered hunting rifle(or maybe I should say some of them have. Some of the military long range sniper rifles are in fact american hunting rifles without the fancy woodgrain stocks.) 2) Long range sniper rifles(AKA high powered hunting rifles) are not all that important to the average citizen’s self defense requirements. The most useful weapons to the average citizen for self defense would be short barreled shotguns and high capacity pistols such as the glock. Interestingly, the short barreled shotgun was one of the first of the firearms taken away from us citizens! What the * is that all about? Gun control is totally bass ackwards from the getgo.
If you are, on the otherhand, objecting to my “long range sniper rifle” comment because you think they are absurdly deadly weapons in the hands of average citizens, then you are an absolute idiot. As I stated before, long range sniper rifles are in many cases nothing more than a plain khaki colored american high powered hunting rifle without the fancy shiny woodgrain stocks. Look up the ballistics on a .338-.378 weatherby magnum and then get back to me.
Also, you should know that a 21 year old kid can buy one of those 338-378 weatherby magnums WITHOUT a gun permit! I mean TODAY, not way back in the day when I was a kid.
