I did the Armor Officers Advanced Course at Ft Knox in 1993. Thereafter I did a branch transfer from infantry (where I had spent 10 yrs) to armor and got qualified to operate and command all stations in that awesome machine. Then along came the Clinton RIF and I was screwed. Forced out just as I was about to hit major.

Nobody in my class this summer scored under a "C" when I took over three weeks ago, there were nine kids failing.

I guess only them can deefine classes of weapons, legal precedents and constitutions begone. That's the central hypocrisy of that article indeed.

A 1990 review in the NRA's American Rifleman of the Sites Spectre HC Pistol said, "A gun like the Spectre is primarily intended for hip-firing....

What they left out after the "...." is most likely "because the the sight system is not so hot" or some other such statement.

I know it's hard to believe the VPC would leave out part of a quote that makes it irrelevant to their thesis
