(Was Mr. Rowan a politician? I thought he was just a speech-writer and
author.)

re#24: It now contains a retraction of the story, not that Sarah didn't
buy the sniper rifle for her son, but that it was potentially illegal
for her to do so. So according to the retraction the delaware gun law
says its ok for the 'strawman' purchase - 'banger squeeze to buy the
nine so long as the 'banger tells her its ok for him to have it...
like whats the point of the law then huh?

Re 18,25. Yes, I have Mr. Rowan listed, since he was U.S. Ambassador
to Finland in 1963-64. See
http://politicalgraveyard.com/bio/rothacker-rowden.html
The site lists "politicians, judges, and diplomats," living and dead,
from the 1770s to the present. Diplomats (ambassadors and other U.S.
chiefs of mission) are included because many of them are politicians,
and in former times, all of them were politicians.

No. A semi-automatic and automatic weapon, as you well know, are two
completely different things. A semi-automatic weapon does not become an
automatic weapon when it's used for a particular purpose; a 30-06 becomes
a sniper rifle when it is used to shoot a human being from a distance. So
one is outright lying, and the other simply misrepresentation.

Hadn't known that he had been an Ambassador. Thanks, Larry. (I'm learning
a lot from you lately. :)

A sniper rifle is usually an accurized, bolt action weapon with a scope
mounted on it and ad justed to the shoulder of the user. It can be a .30-06,
or a .223, or a .50 cal as long as it is optomized for that intended use.

what bru said .. and the particularity is in two areas, 1) specially
manufactured adn calibrated (like your taurus ain't ready for NASCAR, ok?)
adn 2) custom fitted to the individual in all respects (dont' try out
somone else's space suit, right!).
'sniper rifle, my foot!

"They'll never ban your hunting rifle...
... they'll call it a 'sniper gun' first."
