Like I said in an earlier post, the first time I shot an AR I did very well ---- and credited the technology, not me.

........innocent victims would have been killed too.

There's not enough information given to be able to LUNGE to a conclusion like this. With this sentence, you not only expose your bias and lack of knowledge about firearms, but turn to a worn-out, dishonorable cliche about 'killing innocents'. A perennial favorite of the gun restriction crowd.

Edited to add: The story makes no mention regarding the distance of the shot.
