PatriotPetitions. US has launched a national campaign entreating our President, House of Representatives and Senate to reject legislation renewing the 1994 Clinton-Feinstein-Schumer Gun-Control Act. Please read this brief description of the campaign and let your voice be heard on this matter. Though House Majority Leader Tom DeLay says "The votes in the House are not there" to renew the measure, Feinstein and Schumer just introduced a bill in the Senate to renew the law, and they will press the House for a roll call vote in the upcoming election year. Unfortunately, President Bush has reiterated that he SUPPORTS the gun-ban -- an affront to the Constitutional right of all law abiding citizens to own semi-automatic sporting rifles for lawful purposes. Feinstein and Schumer even applauded President Bush, saying: "We welcome your support and look forward to working with you to gain swift passage of this legislation. With your assistance, we will be able to pass legislation to continue the ban and help make America's streets safer." "Safer"? For whom? Such laws claim, ostensibly, to protect law-abiding citizens. Of course, only law-abiding citizens comply with these restrictions -- and at their own peril. Criminals don't care if the weapon they are using comport with the 23,000 federal, state and local gun restrictions already on the books. The Democrat's "incremental encroachment" on the Second Amendment is a thinly-veiled strategy to achieve their ultimate goal of gun confiscation, as Ms. Feinstein made clear after passage of her 1994 legislation: "If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate...for an outright ban, picking up every one of them, Mr. and Mrs. America, turn them all in, I would have done it!" Please join fellow Patriots on the frontlines in defense of our Constitutional liberties. Link to -- http://patriotpetitions.us/nogunban.

why are you SOOOOO ANGRY?
do you realize you are acting like a spoiled child and/or a lunatic?? AND that knowledgeable people are LOL AT you??? (FYI, i've gotten four freepmails this weekend, which asked me why i'm bothering to answer you.)
i've said at least TWICE on the thread that:
a. i was NOT looking at Lee's 2d edition (and working form memory!) and
b.that the Training Circuliar from Ft Benning's AMU was CORRECT in both number & content.
c. what ELSE but that do you WANT??? shall i prostrate myself at your feet? or scourge myself in public squares, crying "i'm SOOOO SOOORRY, i'm SOOOO SORRY, i was mistaken!!!

TRAINING CIRCULIARS are NOT field manuals, tech manuals or anything else, for that matter. they are what they are: TRAINING CIRCULIARS!
if you had ANY knowledge of military procedures, publications & the like you would KNOW that. alas, you know ZILCH about anything you can't find on the worldwidewierd in a minute or less. PITY.

On your last post you were unable to provide the full title, full number, or the page number.
My conversations with you are done.
i INTENTIONALLY didn't bother to go look up the information you wanted me to ONLY because i have :
a. better things to do with my time than to run errands for you &
b.i told you the TC number. (the title is ADVANCED MARKSMANSHIP INSTRUCTION FOR THE M-1 GARAND & M-14 RIFLES-Shooting Coaches Edition, published by the Army marksmanship Unit at the Infantery School 1968 and yearly thereafter, as needed.)
if your accesss to data on the worldwidewierd was all you seem to think it is, you could have found the document from the number alone.
SORRY, but people who know about military manuals are LAUGHING AT you.
AND you've never yet told me what YOUR credentials are to question ANYTHING any real military veteran and/or police officer knows, w/o consulting the internet.
do you have anything to tell us about YOUR expertise in firearms, if any????
