I know there is an atmosphere in some parts of the USA, personally I've seen it in LA, that you don't even talk about guns.  It's strictly a taboo subject, very emotionally colored.

So your statistics couldn't be brought into the conversation.  You see, those are facts about the .

NO FUDGING REQUIRED!!!

165 yard pistol shot and he took the crazy dude down.

Impressive.

"Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive one; it is man and not materials that counts."
Mao Tse-Tung

This can be applied to every day usage..  Its the person that kills people, not the gun.

That's why you should be worried.

What's the word on HiViz sights?

I want to buy some, especially because they are moving from CO.

Good God!  168 yards!  With a handgun!  I'm calling bullsh*t.  That's a football field and a half.  At that distance it would have been difficult for an adult with 20/20 vision to determine which one was the cop!   (excepting, of course, that one assumes that the one next to the cop car is the cop.)  That distance is a respectable rifle shot.
Wow, I would have moved up on him before shooting even if it were 168 ft. What did he have I wonder. One of those bolt action silhouette target guns?

Stacy's first shot struck the perp's thigh, supposedly. It's possible he was aiming for his head or COM. Depending on the perp's body angle to Stacy he might have felt confident that firing at that range would hit some part of his body, regardless of vitality, and if not, it was clear enough downrange to risk it.

Ahh. Still, hell of a shot to even hit him at all at that range.

IF he were aiming where his shots landed.

I apologize if this is not the implication intended, but you don't think he might have been aiming at the other side of the tree, do you?

Agreed, that's one hell of a shot... He may be over-stating the distance. Wink

Oh my. If only it were illegal for that law abiding citizen to carry a gun and that shooter to carry a gun, the shooting would not have happened.

Right. Because nobody ever gets guns illegally. Roll Eyes

I truly hope you recognized the sarcasm in my sentence. If not, I apologize.

It makes me sick the extent that media outlets will go to push the UN's anti-firearm policies...

Makes me even sicker when retarded people actually believe what they see on MSM.
If they arent going to require a IQ test to watch tv, they should require one to post comments to prevent stupid people from polluting the net, with their inability to think for themselves; only able to spew the same talking pieces they hear from other retards or the news.

Interesting read. Now for the price of a machine-gun you can have your own machine-gun factory. Well, maybe a zip gun factory. There is a hackerspace here in Madison with a 3-D printer. I think it's time to take the "how to" class.

Can you print bullets ?

Don't need too, I can recycle the cases of fired rounds a hundred times, and the bullets themselves can still be made of lead ball.  It's not like this kind of thing is ever going to be accurate enough to justify a precise, jacket bullet.
