Wonder why VPC jumped past the 30.06??? My Garand is quite the gem at long range, and is well known to be extremely accurate out to 1000 yds with iron sight's. We all knew they would eventually come after the long gun's, as soon as they figured they couldn't demonize handgun's effectively any longer. The sniper wanna be was just the ticket for 'em. Isn't VPC run by that scumbag Morris Dee's?, or does he head up some other left/wacko group? Anyway, bttt...

dcw, you're a Garand kinda guy, thought you might want to see this.Blackbird.

thanks for the ping. Yep, love my Garand. It's a sweet weapon. This moron knows ZIP about firearms and is too stupid to learn. Hate is a wasteful thing!

I always like to find out who's behind outfits like the VPC. As usual, the liberal 'philanthropic' foundations are working hard to undermine American principles and the Constitution. I couldn't find anything about who's behind VPC at its website, but here's what a writer at KeepandBearArms.com had to say:

"Now back to the Violence Policy Center, a small anti-gun think-tank supported by grants from liberal-left foundations and wealthy benefactors who can afford their own armed bodyguards, but prefer a disarmed peasantry.

Our friends at the VPC have a standard procedure for dealing with all gun-related issues. They don't exactly lie, but they are masters of the half-truth and the twisted sound bite. Some of their past work has been diabolically brilliant. Millions of soccer moms who knew nothing about guns were terrified by VPC-inspired campaigns like the one that labeled gun shows 'Tupperware parties for criminals.'

Even when their tactics were blatantly dishonest, you had to admire their creativity and dedication to the cause."

Maybe because renowned gun-grabber Sarah Brady recently purchased a .30-06 "sniper" rifle for her son.
