I hope you don’t mind my saying that what you wrote had too many obscure references - what are you hinting at?

If you are referring to my post, some background: I was assigned to backstop a sniper while I was with Golf Company 2/1 in Vietnam. We’d go out in the dark while he chose his hide position and I’d move back on the trail to cover his back door with my M-14. When the sniper shot, an enemy died.

I shot several Marine Corps Division matches and once for the Marine Cops matches and we used exactly the described techniques to know our rifles. At one point, I broke a range record at 600 meters with my match M-14.

So when some know-it- all pops off with “I don’t need to know all that stuff to shoot deer”, I get annoyed, ya know? The Second Amendment has nothing to do with deer shooting.

I have no truck with you just observing internet behavior which I think I confessed I do as much as the next guy

I agree ...gun rights are to resist tyranny more than deer hunting

Wholeheartedly

We can see that plain enough in our failed state cities
