In the media I keep hearing about these awesome "high-powered rifles", capable of incredible feats of marksmanship. What caliber are these? Magazine capacity? Aiming devices? Because this is what the Mexican pirates used against that unlucky American Sea-Doo rider's incredible single shot to the head, and again against those two swans in Mat-Su, Alaska, and again and again in several convenience stores. How on earth do we allow such WMD's to be sold on the open market?!?!? Assault Weapons, the lot of 'em!

you are talking about people who see no need for the public to even own a rifle/pistol much less owing a super performance high caliber can do anything rifle.

I'm pretty sure they're talking about the .22 <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Long Rifle</span></span></span> caliber... It says right there on the box, "Dangerous within 1 1/2 miles". That means any schmuck with a .22 rifle & Counter Sniper optic can hit 'minute of soup can' out to 2639.85 yards

! Just imagine the devastation a center fire cartridge could do. Especially if the rifle is camo'd up or gasp... has a magazine.

Good luck </div></div>

Faucet knobs are the up and coming rage, why dick around with a little knob when you can dial like a mofo with a custom wagon wheel knob. 5 won't be enough.

These pictures are scary guys. To meet DC law, I've gotten rid of my Para Ordnance for a Kahr PM40. The 14 rounds of .45 that Para could hold are clear and blatant signs of intended use as an assault weapon. Now if I can figure out to do with my 870. Pistol grip shotguns = American Jihadist.
