so again shooting a at a 200 pound deer has nothing to do with..... auggghhh i give up.
Apparently unless you are a super secret ninja deltaforce jock with a "expert" medals tattooed on your ass by god almighty and have your words carved in stone over some forsaken monument you apparently should stay the hell home and leave the shooting sports to the "experts".
So I guess no 90 year old granny need a gun.
I guess no cop needs a rifle.
I guess no soldier needs a handgun.
Guys ALL 3 SCENARIOS are totally different.
and let me just say this: i'd MUCH rather trust my safty to a longtime hunting partner who knows how to shoot a moving target and will check to make SURE he has a clear target and can be counted on not to point a gun at ME over ANY armchair commando who practices once in a blue moon, or cop who qualifies once a year or granny that needs a point and shoot piece in a hurry.
HOWEVER:
I'm NOT a cop, I'm not at war, and I'm not 90 years old different rules apply to every scenario.
You DON'T have to be a musician to buy a record.
You don't HAVE to be an artist to buy a painting.
You don't HAVE to be an expert woodsman/sharpshooter/attorney/witness/cop/commando/doctor/gunsmith to own and use a gun.

PS Point of contention over "match grade vs "hollowpoint" ammo used by snipers.. Snipers DO NOT use expanding bullets in military applications. the "hollowpoint" in a sierra 168gr. palma match king is a leftover of the manufacturing process the bullet DOES NOT expand. Anti terrorist units and domestic police and troops invloved in drug interdiction are NOT covered by the hague accords, so expanding soft point/hollowpoint ammo is usable in these scenarios.
