they might get to the point of telling Americans that it's a good idea to purchase and learn to use a firearm.

Hi Travis,
Contenders and XP-100s are both capable of very good accuracy and precision. However, not .5MOA. Thats not a requirement when shooting metallic shilhouette or, in this case, human targets. In both cases the 'kill zone' is considerably larger. In this case I think nearly any of the .22 cal CF cartridges would be adequate exc those on the very low end. The most important factor though is who's pulling the trigger. Seems the shooter in this instance is on top of things...so far Yes, most of the .22 cal CF cartriges would be loud in a short bbl configuration.

That said, I dont think this shooter is handicapping himself with a single shot pistol. I think he's giving himself every advantage possible. The goal isnt to impress with spot-on shooting rather its to terrorize and call into doubt the govts ability to provide security. If these are his goals I think he's been wildly successful to this point.

I'd think this would be a bad time to tell people in MD they will get more restrictive gun laws.

Kathleen Kennedy Townsend waited 5 days (I won the office pool!) and made this very statement yesterday.

Doc has me flying high right now and I'm not tracking very well.

Do I understand that Townsend is backing off on her gun grabbing ideas at least for the present time?

Hope you feel better soon. In answer to your question, KKT waited 5 days, then attacked Ehrlich's voting history in the area of gun laws, citing gun control bills he had voted against. She swore up and down that she did not want to politicize these horrific events, but that "the facts are the facts."

Crud!!! I guess common sense is beyond the reach of most liberals.

At least "some" do eventualy see the light.My hope is kept alive by people like David Horowitz and a lot of our fellow FReepers.They were blinded by the PCBS when younger but after thinking things through have come out of the darkness.
