How I Celebrated Freedom in the Best Way Possible Tuesday, September 11, 2007, I celebrated freedom in the best way possible. I bought a gun. It’s not just any gun. It is the gun. I bought an M1A. A Springfield Armory M1A, a .308 caliber rifle. A rifle that shoots a bullet that has more energy after the bullet flies 300 yards than an M16/AR-15 has at its muzzle. This indeed is our only hope IMO. One of my fav possessions is my Winchester 30- 30 "Trapper." I can make consistent 12 inch patterns in a standing position at 100 yards easily with no scope.
Law Enforcement Against Prohibition 300 yards, factory sights, minimal fuss. 1100 yards, good scope, and good rifle with flat trajectory, again minimal fuss. Shot distinguished expert before the NRA quit teaching kids to shoot back in the 80's.
Dying for old bastards, and their old money, isn't my idea of freedom.
Modern history is ripe with stories of civilian riflemen giving conventional forces quite the headache. In Vietnam the M38/M44 Mosin Nagant Rifle (I own the M44 model) despite being a "carbine" can hit human size targets at 400 meters if you know what you are doing. The US grunt armed with the M16 came to rather dislike the distinctive "BBBOOOMM" the little M38/M44 made. In Afghanistan locals armed with WWI Lee-Enfield and Mauser rifles would engage Soviet troops at 600 to 800 meters. Well out of range of the Soviet Paratrooper's AK-74. Iraq is proving to be the same. Snipers armed with Scoped AK-47s and SKSs are killing US troops at ranges well beyond detection. Then there is the vehicle factor. A heavy rifle round can break all sorts of things on a modern tank. Visor blocks, laser designators, sights, External weapons, ect. And that is if it's "buttoned up." A trained marksmen can make a tank crew's life hell each time they try to open a hatch.

We still have enough freedom to turn the tide and restore the true freedoms that made America great, the years from our founding up to about 1914.
