Sniper suspect is large white man; Shooter might be serial killer, sheriff says (Police profiling)

Good points. I do have a question to the West Virginia guys out here. Is the .223 legal for deer?

Don't the media rules (journalistic ethics)...

oxymoron.

I feel it is not right to profile the pickup as "Black", as this will cause lots of self-esteem problems for other pickups of color.

Don't worry- since it's a black pickup Je$$e Jackson will be there to defend it right away.

Yes it's legal to use .223 for deer. My wife plans to use our Bushmaster for hunting this year. I normally use a BAR in .308, or a 12 gauge slug gun because we also hunt in Ohio and they don't allow rifles of any caliber there for deer.

That's bad news. I hope the authorities don't think a legal deer hunter had anything to do with this. Asking gunowners to have their AR's checked last time was bad enough.

Isn't that redundant? ;-)

...Handgun Control Inc.(HCI) now known as The Brady Campaign. One wonders what would have happened if his son had been hacked to death instead of being shot.

MCI?

Well: drugs, and a .22.

Unless the press reports are wrong, of course. I could be .223 but he would have to have spent a few more bucks to get an AR-15 that can deliver headshots at 70 yards.
