Gun Control & RKBA

(509 posts)You assume a great deal with your final line of your post, one I find frankly insulting. Please refer to my avatar. That is the service ribbon for Desert Storm. It means I was in the service and saw combat at least there.
You are getting a 3" group at 100 yards with a rifle of unknown sight-type. I try to shoot 3" groups at 300 meters using iron sights. I'm a retired Combat Arms NCO from the Army. Shooting was a big part of my life for a very long time. You are by definition an amateur. I am a former soldier, where shooting well meant my life. Our sniper training was regularly over 850 meters (essentially 930 yards) with a scoped Remington 700 ADL type rifle.
Nowadays, I shoot almost more pistol than I do rifle. I try to maintain decent skills, by MY definition.
As for "noise and feeling of power," I was a Combat Engineer detonating charges of up to 2000 pounds of High Explosive (HE) at once. Small arms fire is nowhere near the same. I get and got one hell of a rush from detonating HE just about each and every time.
I don't believe I made any statement in my original post that should lead you to your comment:
Admit it, you like the noise and the feeling of power it gives you which is all right. Just don't try to delude the rest of us.
Your snide final line simply illustrates how little you comprehend serious shooting as well as your execrable attitude.
