Shooting somebody with a scoped .223 rifle from 200 yards is like shooting somebody with pistol at point blank range. Unless your are completely inept you will hit the target.

Me thinks you exagerate slightly.

The official definition of Point Blank Range is the setting on fixed sights that are made so that within that particular range, the target would be hit if the aim point was at the midsection. On the fixed sight of a 1903 Springfield it was about 625 yards.

I'm guessing that today, it's the range in which a blind, anti-gun democrat can't miss with a "Saturday Night Special".

No, he's not exagerating at all. My 13-year-old daughter would have no problems hitting a man-sized target at 200 yards with a scoped AR-15, as long as she's shooting prone.

Ok, maybe slightly.
