Good read regardless........ Thanks for posting it.

Presstitutes pandering to their polidiots sedition with lies and diversional misleading BS ....doom on em all.

Stay Safe !

Most the rest of her assertions are either similarly out of date, or only theoretically possible

Call me a black helicopter crackpot, but I have a theory as to why the Fascist left-wing elitists want the .50 BMG rifles banned. They know that it will defeat the armor on the 1/2 million dollar chauffer driven limos they ride around NYC, the DC, and Hollyweird in.

[Echo Talon]

She begins with the bold assertion that soldiers can shoot rifle bullets through tank armor from a mile away.

LOL, put down the crack pipe.

30-06 Springfield at 110m, 163gr steel core AP thru 3/4" stainless.

Bingo!!

[epow]

Maybe she was thinking of a hot water tank like the one in my basement. I'm pretty sure even a .30-30 could penetrate that tank at 1 mile range.

"Journalists" shouldn't write articles on things about which they are totally ignorant. But left wing propagandists like this young woman are only concerned about alarming and frightening other people who are also clueless about firearms and the reasons why it is absolutely essential that the people of a free nation have them.

3/4" steel plate, wow that's kinda surprising. That photo adds some more to my appreciation for the old '03 Springfield and it's cartridge. The 7.62 NATO will do almost anything the aught-6 would do with light to medium weight bullets, but it doesn't perform as well with really heavy bullets like the 220 grain soft points that used to be the preferred .30 caliber bullet for big bear, elk, and moose.

I like the newer NATO round for punching paper and I know it's a more practical combat round, but for an all around hunting rifle I would still take the old aught-6.

bump!

Virginia politician Jim Moran, who stated that the rifle could knock a railcar off its tracks.

What scale?

[epow]

Probably the scale of the Chinese made plastic toy train my 4 year-old grandson plays with.

I had a 2nd hand Lionel toy electric train set when I was a kid back in the early 1940s, but I don't remember the scale designation. I remember that it had a headlight that really worked, and smoke came out the smokestack if you put a drop of 3-in-one oil in it somewhere. Other than that I don't remember much about model trains.
