This has illustrated why the anti-gun crowd is so stupid. The assault weapons ban was stupid. A sniper poses a greater threat than some bozo with an automatic weapon. Why? Snipers hit what they shoot at and then get away, to kill again. Idiots with automatic weapons shoot wildly, get spotted, and then get apprehended/killed.

I wonder how far away I can hit a head or chest sized target with my Winchester Model 70 in .243? It is a varmit model and has a "bull barrel" and a 3 - 9X Redfield Widefield scope on it. The longest shot I have made was a Wild Turkey at Ft Hood, TX in 1979. A little over 185 of my long paces. I didn't try for a head shot as he was walking, but lucked out with hitting him in a vital area without spoiling much meat. Great eating and got him the week before Thanskgiving. Just too darn heavy to pack into the woods for hunting.

They are asassins Coming from the Arabic word hashshasin</>..one who kills innocent people A member of a secret order of Moslem fanatics who terrorized and killed Christian crusaders
