This is stupid. What's a 'sniper rifle'? Any rifle with a scope on it? EVERY rifle above a shotgun for real hunting has a scope on it.

Moronic, Idotic, Imbicilic DemocRATS

The gun grabbers are energized by the smell of blood. And, true to form, they are exploiting tragedy to push their agenda. EVERY RIFLE IS A SNIPER RIFLE. The Brady Center for Gun Confiscation said that this episode was justification for re-authorizing the ban on so-called Assault Rifles, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE SHOOTER IS ONLY FIRING ONE SHOT. The guy could have just as easily used an old single-shot .270 (if there is such a beast), but don't let the media and the gun-grabbers allow facts to get in the way of their agendas...

And a modestly skilled marksman could accomplish these hienous murders with a 30-30 with iron sights. But the agenda is about the weapons, not the perp. Which tells a thinking person all he needs to know about what the Brady Center is all about.

"This is stupid. What's a 'sniper rifle'? Any rifle with a scope on it?" (AP)

Carlos Hathcock did just fine with an ordinary .30-06 Winchester Model 70 - basically a deer rifle rebarreled with a heavy barrel. Marine "sniper rifle" of today is basically a Remington 700 Varmint Special in .308 with a good scope.

Either liberals don't know what a "sniper rifle" is - or really want a "slippery slope" as we've long said.

Scandals of antigun politicians - from Kalifornia to Manhattan!
