"The sixth man dived off a 3-story building just as Wilson got him in his sights, and counts as a probable death."

Insurgents “have killed good Marines I've served with. That's how I sleep at night,” he says. “Though I've killed over 20 people, how many lives would those 20 people have taken?”

And other folk burn down abortion clinics.....

He was 5 when he first fired an M-16, his father holding him to brace against the recoil.

His dad knew what he was doing. That isn't just for kids.

I have a friend who's a POST-certified police trainer in unarmed combat. He's plenty comfortable with firearms -- I've been to the range with him many times, and seen him handle an array of weapons -- but it's not his field of expertise.

The first time one of his fellow instructors handed him a full-auto M-16 on the range, the instructor stood behind him, with both his hands on both my friend's shoulders.

Apparently, it's not uncommon for someone who's new to full-auto fire to lose his footing and tip backward, and not everyone has the presence of mind to release the trigger when that happens.

My friend kept his footing just fine, and he only had the human backstop the first time. The wild-spray scenario might only happen one time in a hundred, but those odds still justify the precaution.
