Some people just don't get satire and irony. Go back and read the article.....Let me point out to you the "nickname" of the thuggie is "Pig" and he was arrested, and taken away by the police, who thuggies call "pigs". This has nothing to do with me calling the police names...In fact, my brother in law is a deputy sheriff and another friend of mine is a Florence PD sniper... Yeah...I only spent 4 years and got a degree at Auburn.......and no, they made no mistake on my end, either.

Sniper school is one of the most demanding schools in the military. Training you how to shoot someone from a half mile away is the easy part. They look for people with a great deal of mental stability and the ability to think under stress; the "head work" that goes along with the trigger time weeds out a very large percentage of the candidates. I went through Quantico 33 years ago, and the training has become a lot more demanding since then. Anyone can pull a trigger; it takes someone with...

I spent January to March of 1978 in West Berlin. From a platform overlooking the wall, I saw three wreaths memorilizing recent victims who tried to escape. Then, I saw the wasteland beyond, with barbed wire, attack dog runs, robot machine guns, booby traps and landmines. All overseen by a watch tower manned by a Volk Polizei sniper. He was rewarded with extra pay and leave for each person he shot.

I think the reason Obama was hesitant to use the word terrorism and Tom Ridge alluded to it this morning, was because it enhances paranoia and people automatically envision some ak-47 wielding middle-easterner.

The difference is that they actually make weapons in Tennessee. Barrett makes the 50 caliber sniper rifle for the Army in Murfreesboro, and they're expanding to some other rifles. Another company used to make Saturday Night Specials in Nashville. I would think a budget pistol would be an especially big seller over in Memphis.

In Plaster's book, The Ultimate Sniper, AP is recommended as he has found that it is the most accurate round to shoot at and beyond 1000 yards. Has to do with the manufacturing process.
