That's the additional fun of having farms. You can shoot out your bedroom window if you like and your range is EVERYWHERE.

Let's face it though- how many people can actually make a 1500 meter shot? You not only need great optics, but a lot of practice. The .50 cal is not the best long range cartridge, but is a lot of fun for the "bang". The ammo is cheaper than the odd Cheytac calibers as well.

Every hunter I know , with the exception of those that use black powder , use semi autos. It's just another example of journalists having no clue.

A little look into what is going on in the world
And why did you choose the "politics and other controversies" forum for this "news"?

I see neither in your post.

"The big rush in the US started when obama got elected."

Is there anyone in jail who wasn`t a law abiding citizen before they weren`t? No.

Yes because Obama was going to take away their guns, all 330 million of them. There's always an excuse for a gun surge and the NRA has done a good job creating paranoia, the pandemic, BLM protests, democratic president, statement by a congressman all lead to a surge.

Anyone with a shred of common sense realizes no one will be taking away our firearms. What they will do and have done is legislate away one thing after another. So far, the majority of it has come from the States, but to think it can't happen at the Federal level is just ignorant. Especially when we've had politicians , including our current POTUS state on record that they want to restrict certain types of firearms, for example, magazine fed semi auto rifles.
