The current world record for aimed bolt-action fire was set in 1914 by a musketry instructor in the British Army—Sergeant Instructor Snoxall—who placed 38 rounds into a 12-inch-wide (300 mm) target at 300 yards (270 m) in one minute



Bolt action 10 round clip, good thing the crazies don't pratice...

Sorry I just expect them to be consistant...

OK so the Press hammer the Government about Weapons of Mass Destruction that Saddam Hussein has been threatening to use on his borders. When they fail to turn up the intell community gets hammered, then the same press complain that we took (?) the Uranium yellow cake (20 tones) from Saddams weapon development and gave it to Canada. Now we hear of the outrage that Syria is loading nerve gases to use on it's own people, and reported with a straight face is the news that Syria got it from Saddam prior to our invasion.

If the press compared their own reporting of the aera, they might notice that they still run the "10 years later and no "WMDs"", and in the same hour talk of the Saddam / Syrian nerve gases.

Who won that War

The small nation of Israel gets attacked by Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt. The attackers vow to sweep them into the sea, each expecting to greatly expand their lands. Israel wins. Israel pushes the borders to defendable lines, it gets what it needs after all it won. The defeated nations refuse to accept their own citizens back as refugees, forcing them to be unwanted residents in concured land. Jordanians on the west bank cannot retreat to Jordan along with the defeated army, Likewise the citizens of the other 3 nations. Left stranded and labeled as Palestinians by their home countries, they live isolated and abandoned.

50 years later ... Our President is committing money to pay for Syrian refuges that live in Jordan and opining that the Jordanians left behind in 67 deserve their own nation. What's wrong with the picture that we offer to pay for sierians hiding in Jordan, but the Jordanians left behind as a festering wound in Israel deserve a nation of their own? Funny how they accept our money and each others refuges but not their own.

The timing analysis of the last two mass shootings shows that the rate of fire could have been achieved with a single fire weapon. My 1909 Springfield trapdoor, arguable the first American assault weapon could have sustained the necessary rate of fire, and how would changing the law on magazine capacity alter that?
