Not Exactly A Sniper
While the TrackingPoint rifle system is very impressive, it does not necessarily make one a sniper.
For example, in the following article a shooter hits a target at 500 yards without even looking downrange at the target. In my mind, a sniper involves significant talent, not blind reliance on technology. I’d love to hit targets at 500 yards with this system, but I would not even consider calling myself a sniper.

Well-Regulated
We hear it constantly from droning citizen control cultists.
The argument goes something like this.
“You want to listen to the last part of the Second Amendment where is says ‘shall not be infringed,’ but you ignore the part where it says you have to be a ‘well-regulated militia.’”
Invariably, they argue that “well-regulated” means “subject to extensive government regulations.”
But what does “well-regulated really mean?

Houston Handgun Instructor Offers Free For Educators
In Houston, a handgun licensing instructor is offering free classes for educators.
Chuck Persinger has won a number of awards for his shooting skills. For the second year in a row, he’s offering all teachers and school employees the chance to take his class for free and many are taking him up on his offer.
School districts in the area currently don’t allow teachers to be armed on school campuses, but that’s something Persinger thinks could change in the future.
“We’ll take up to 50 students and they have to be someone who is already proficient with a handgun,” Persinger said. “In Union Grove, Texas they have now approved their school district and school to carry firearms so someday it may be here so we’re gonna offer CHLs.”
The class is a rigorous five hour course with instructions on how to shoot and conceal a weapon, as well as how to avoid accidentally shooting someone.

Obama to Gun Control Advocates: Gets as Mobilized as the NRA

...R.I.P. Eli Wallach
Eli Wallach, the raspy-voiced character actor who starred in dozens of movies and Broadway plays over a remarkable and enduring career and earned film immortality as a conniving, quick-on-the-draw bandit in the classic Western “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” has died. He was 98.
The Real Gun Problem Is Mental Health, Not The NRA
Even CNN gets it… The NRA is not the demon. But I don’t agree with her recommendations on how to address the problem.
Next time there’s a mass shooting, don’t jump to blame the National Rifle Association and lax gun laws. Look first at the shooter and the mental health services he did or didn’t get, and the commitment laws in the state where the shooting took place.
Strengthening gun control won’t stop the next mass shooter, but changing our attitudes, the treatment options we offer and the laws for holding the mentally unstable and mentally ill for treatment just might.
