The black Army veteran who killed five Dallas police officers donned a protective vest and used a military-style semi-automatic rifle in the sniper slayings, officials said, an attack that layered new anxiety onto a nation already divided about guns and how police treat African-Americans.
Micah Johnson was killed by a robot-delivered bomb Thursday after the shootings, which marked the deadliest day for U.S. law enforcement since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
In all, 12 officers were shot just a few blocks from where President John F. Kennedy was slain in 1963.

***Its also a club or spear, if needed.***
I’ve always laughed at the politicians who screamed about bayonets on rifles.
Once the rifle is empty all you have left is a three thousand year old club with a short pike on one end.
Ah yes these days the Resevists do get deployed. Thanks for clarification.
The price point of sks rifles is not too bad yet, either. I recommend a tactical shotgun to most of my urban friends. Usually good to 100m with slugs and sights, and very fast and effective at close range with buckshot. And if they find the recoil of the 12 guage too much, a 20 guage works pretty good too.
>>The Taliban thinks the Enfield is a military rifle. Like the Viet Cong, they use whatever they can find.
The Enfield is a military rifle.
Be careful with that statement.
We "salted" so much booby-trapped 7.62X39 ammunition around Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos during the Vietnam War that some of it is bound to still be around.
To this day, I still won't fire an AK-47 or an SKS unless I first carefully inspect the ammo's head-stamp.

They are trying to claim the SKS is a military-style rifle? Its also not a sniper rifle. The 7.62x39mm can barely hit anything over 200m unless you have good optics and a proficient shooter, which his Army buddies says the shooter was not (unlike the guys at AKOU who can shoot).
Five dead and seven injured cops say differently.

Are we still presuming he acted alone here? 5 D & 7 I doesn’t mean Johnson was the sole trigger-man...Unless I’ve been slow on the news/data feed reading.
An Enfield is an effective battle rifle.The MK VII ball load is horrendously deadly.
True enough.
Most of the ammo I buy is newer manufactured Tula, or Golden Tiger.
Headline should read
Black Panther Democrat who voted for Obama.....
Black Panthers go from white voter intimidation with billy clubs....to murdering white police officers, all in the span of 8 years.
BHO is the devil.
He's in Warsaw now doubling down on promoting a race war.
No one but Hitler has done more world wide destruction than O’Muslim.
May he burn in hell.
I have thought that theories about him trying to create the conditions for declaring a state of emergency were tinfoil, but his words and actions are making me change my mind.
I have never seen a military style rifle that is “semi automatic” these days. They are all select fire with full auto being one of the selections.
If it is “semi automatic”, it sure the hell isn’t military style. It is civilian sporting style. Not military.
The media jackwipes lie again. All they can do. But the didn’t INTEND to lie, so...
I agree. He all but ordered for those officers to be killed.
I was astounded as I watched Thursday night on Fox as the sniper was active,,,to see on the news “crawl” at the bottom of the screen, quotes from a few hours earlier of Obama’s anti-police remarks. So, as the murdering black panther Obama voter was hunting white people, the words of the usuper were moving across the screen telling us what a bunch of racists we are. Un freaking believable. He loves every second of this misery he’s heaped on us for 8 years.
Lately I can’t even get to sleep at night. My husband tells me to just ‘clear my mind and sleep’ like he does. I just can’t.
My 1953 ex Red Army SKS is stock and strictly semi-auto. I think the initials SKS stand for semi-automatic karabine, Simonov.

Stay vigilant. I think this is going to get a lot worse before it gets any better.
“What is the AP trying to do by making Veteran the first word in the headline?”
And why are they dragging poor JFK into this?! What an evil bunch of bastards the MSM are!
I was confused by the video of Johnson shooting from behind a pillar multiple bursts with one hand with little noticeable recoil.
