Sorry. Not the article ... but rather the idea that we are all "snipers" as fostered up here in Boston.

This is just like the augument you hear radical feminists use that all men on college campuses are "potential rapists" becuase of what's between their legs...
To: vannrox
all of America's 80 million gun owners are potential snipers, according to the gun banners' logic. Kind of like the (il)logic used by feminazis, that "all men are potential rapists."

Leftist scum exploiting the murders of innocents to advance their fascist agenda. I'm angry and disgusted, yet again. Remember when they were just after "saturday night specials"? Remember when the brady bill was up for passage and she said "this is all the gun control we'll ever need"? The next day she called it "a good start".
VOTE PRO GUN!!

"We will come to view this harrowing episode for what it is an isolated, bizarre crime in the life of a great and good nation." Or a preview of the terms of engagement for something far more insidious.

The Washington-area sniper will be caught and imprisoned. Life will return to normal. We will come to view this harrowing episode for what it is an isolated, bizarre crime in the life of a great and good nation.Apparently the author or authors have not seen this:
Here is a lengthy but important document which should be read by all!
Jihadis in the Hood
Race, Urban Islam and the War on Terror

The American left consists of those who are mainly social outcasts; vice addicts, criminals, alien non-westerners, and bungled non-productive incompetents. These people, due to Americans attending to private affairs instead of public affairs, have achieved office, sit on juries, teach our young, control the means of communication. As a result they are living out of the public trough, think they have prestige, money and power. However, they know they will bungle. They cannot help it they will by their very nature cause damage and hurt. If Americans ever wake up guns create the means of resistance. Thus, to alleviate their own fears and consolidate their recent rise they are attempting to remove the guns.

"America's 80 Million Potential Snipers" ......... My mistake, I thougt it was an article about the DemonRAT Party!
To: vannrox
80 million potential snipers? Does that mean 80 million potential dead Al Qaedas?
To: 700pss
yeah and now only if 80-100 million gun owners would get out and vote. We wouldnt have to worry about this crap Ok, it's deer season across America. We all know hunters who have a 30.06 and a 12 gauge.
Many hunters remain aloof on gun control issues, since they feel they are not affected. After all, Hillary goes duck hunting as does Jean Carnahan. Al Gore promised Pennsylvania hunters that he wasn't after their guns.
Now we have the VPC and the Bradys saying that the .223, .308 and .50 calibers are the tools of snipers.
They may laugh and say I don't shoot those calibers. Ask if they think the 30.06 will be exempt if they're going after the .308.
"And who needs a .50 caliber anyway?" Remind them that they won't stop with the .50 BMG, and will readily include all of the .50 caliber black powder rifles also. After all, the sniper only took one shot at a time.
If you can't convince these apathetic hunters that their guns are in the crosshairs now, you never will.

Isn't it the DUTY of every abled bodied American to be ready to defend our country in the case of attack? Isn't the duty of every abled body American to serve their country in some way? This is all part of being a free citizen.
That's the concept that allowed our country exist in the first place. Had the founding fathers not had arms and the skills to use them we would still be British subjects. BTW - a good shot does not make a sniper.

"Isn't it the DUTY of every abled bodied American to be ready to defend our country in the case of attack?"
Well, I've always thought so! "BTW - a good shot does not make a sniper."
I'm a good shot with a pistol at a target range, but I agree that there is a world of difference between a static target at a range and a live target shooting at ME! Even if 80 million Americans had rifles with scopes, and even if they were good shots, though not necessarily of sniper quality, it comes down to what is in their hearts. I'm aware from you post that you already know that. The absurdity of the left's arguments is that those guns represent a threat to the unarmed population. The point of the right, is that those guns may ultimately help safeguard the unarmed population, and hopefully, will represent a terrible, vengeful threat to the enemies of this nation.
