Two Hispanics Sought In DC Area Killings

These stories are generally penned by MORONS who A) have never fired a weapon and/or B) have an anti-Second Amendment bias(most reporters/infobabes).

And did you notice how the TV coverage of the ATF "Show and Tell" about the TYPE of weapon suspected focused on those nasty looking -- shudder -- "assault rifles," almost completely neglecting the far more accurate bolt action hunting arm???

If you're going to take ONE SHOT, the weapon of choice is the bolt action rifle with a heavy competition barrel, NOT the nasty looking assault rifle designed for rapid-fire combat situations.

Well, fighting illegal aliens sneaking across the border and fighting US troops and/or the Border Patrol are two entirely different things. Which do you propose we should attack first?

I don't know why I bother...

You attack the invaders, along with any traitors giving them aid and comfort.

But since you're obviously insufficiently able to do anything without someone allowing you to do it, my words are no doubt wasted.

Reread the last paragrapgh of #114. The ones who have attempted to maintain their personal property from illegals have been harrased and/or by law enforcement.

example of harrassment Spencer (American Border Patrol) told more than 110 people last week that he has been the target of the center because he wants to stop illegal immigrants from entering the United States.

But since you're obviously insufficiently able to do anything

Since I do use a cane or a wheel chair for mobility, I won't be of much use off the pavement but yes I do support the American Border Patrol.

The point remains--you're unwilling to take action to defend yourself unless the Great White Father allows you to.

And when the Great White Father tells you that you are not going to be allowed to own firearms (because you're OBVIOUSLY an evil-minded racist), what will you do THEN?

.223 is rarely used as a sniper cartridge and is not effective beyond 300 yards. While a high velocity round it has little weight and no energy beyond this range unless you are shooting varmints. Even varmint hunters such as myself prefer the .22-250 for shots in the 300yds - 700yds ranges. Lighter bullets are affected to much by wind and .30 caliber bullets are more stable and with much higher energy down range. The .223 is employed as a sniper round for close up work less than 200 yards in hostage situations when you expect the bullet to explode on the target and not have any mass left over to penetrate the wall and the lady in the store next door. The .223 fragments and imparts all its energy on the target and exits in a big ball of fragments and body from a large cavity created. At greator ranges with less velocity the bullet stays together and penetrates like a larger bullet.

With the Hornady V-Max or Nosler ballistic tip 40gr hand loads in .22-250, squirels turn into a red mist at +300 yards. Nearly all snipers in LEO and the military still use the .308 or .300 Win Mag or the .338 Lapua in Europe. The .50 BMG is not practical in civilian snipers because of penetration and colateral damage as it was designed to shoot down airplanes and light armored vehicles.
