I never did, but this is clearly off topic. I think I did incorrectly say that there were no double action automatic pistols. You're probably confusing the conversation.

or are you talking about the Canadian issue sniper rifle, or the little ole handgun produced by Sig?

With your stance on firearms, I took my first conclusion that you were talking about the military issue Camera.

Anyone disagreeing with this should study the Mai Lai massacre and the trial of Lt. William Calley (sp?)
Officers don't take an oath to obey the orders of superiors. Any veteran should know that.

Lt. Calley had no defense that he was following orders. A veteran would know that.
