It says so much about the MSM that we see articles such as this in oversees papers.

Interesting. I’m wondering what kind of sniper uses an assault rifle... select-fire capability generally does not lend itself to long-range accuracy. Also, what the heck does “high-caliber” mean? Anything .50 or bigger?

It is such a waste of energy and human spirit to pander to the whims of this free-ride family.

I may be reading too much into this, but is the jug-eared moron cancelling the safari due to his fear that there will be snipers? Is he afraid they will turn them on him? This is on par with the “food taster” story of a few months back... if true, this guy is flat out nuts.

I am looking at going on my first one in many years it looks like. A road trip to Wisconsin.

I am surprised Obuttranger was going to use a sniper on a safari.
I would have thought he would just shoot lions and zebras from the comfort of an easy chair using drones.

Chris Kyle, the 'American Sniper', used select-fire.
As for assault rifles, all sniper rifles are scary to liberals who think cowering and hoping the bad guys don't see you is the best strategy (didn't DHS give that advice in a video?), so all sniper rifles are assault rifles, aren't they?

I wonder if maybe they weren't planning on “neutralizing” the wrong mammals.
After all, some of those animals are members of endangered species, while lib-tards are pretty much a dime a dozen...

Most of sub-Saharan Africa doesn’t have the infrastructure of the Roman Empire of 2000 years ago. Based what I remember from Michael Palin’s travelogues, this trip has the potential for at least $100 million in entertainment value. (I’m in for my $0.33 share!)

Millions of dollars spent on these clowns, but I guess the WH is still closed to the people because of sequester.
What a joke!

that we see articles such as this in oversees(sic)
papers.The DLEMM is anything but mainstream. Why do people continue to make the mistake of referring to that cabal of pukes as mainstream.

NRA should use this to prove that high caliber rifles etc etc are appropriate for hunting.
