OK, maybe I'm being a bit tin-foil-hattish, but I got to thinking after reading part of "Enemies Foreign and Domestic"...
Has anyone else noticed that the guns used in the recent Ohio serial shootings and in the Beltway sniper shootings were very poor choices for sniper attacks? That they were, in fact, a Bushmaster AR-15 and a 9mm handgun, which just so happen to be the kinds of guns (evil black semi-autos) that the anti's would like to see banned in a New, Improved, Expanded Assault Weapons Ban renewal? (I am aware that the AR-15's semi-auto capability was only used in one of ten shootings.)
My understanding of sniping is that the best gun for the job would've been a long-barrelled bolt-action rifle (scoped.) However, the anti's know they can't get to those...yet.
Come to think of it, I've seen a whole lot more shootings in the news lately. Are there more shootings going on (set-up or no), or is there just more news media attention being paid to them? I'm sure we can expect it to accelerate until mid-September.
Thoughts?
