    Your link is broke.

    On a side note, who needs a gun that kills all of the children in one school, and without moving, kills all of the children in the next town over? It's no surprise people keep dying with these guns and high capacity magazines. We need more laws to save the kids. I say make firing pins illegal.

    If you outlaw triggers that might help too!

    Great idea! While we're at it we should make killing people illegal. Stupid lawmakers, there'd be no murder if it was illegal!

    Why in the hell does one need a $27,500 gun to shoot 1000 yards?

    I used to have, before the boating accident, several rifles that were capable of 1000 yards and several that were capable of even more than that.

    They all cost less than 1/10 of that. Some less than 1/20 of it.

    Well, the point is to HIT a target at 1000 yards.

    Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented immigrant" is like calling a drug dealer an "undocumented pharmacist"

    Now that's overreacting.
