Blackpowder is the new 'sniper rifle'

[Wahoo]

Don't blame the media, they only get fed by the Police. So you think only those 'semi-auto black rifle' guys have something to worry about?

A police raid on Braemar Drive in Brampton Wednesday netted a sniper rifle and a small amount of marijuana.

A reporter named Pam Douglas wrote this silly piece. She needs a crash course on "smarten up".

I for one feel a lot safer knowing that a .50 cal sniper rifle is out of the hands of drug dealing criminals.

I quess this will mean "quick loads" for muzzle loading sniper rifles will have to be banned!

Once upon a time maybe but not anymore.
On a side note this topic made me remember that my wife's grandfather has a picket ball muzzleloading rifle and he said that it was a sniper or marksmen rifle in the American Civil War it's got a Adjustable sight and the thing weighs 20 pounds at least.

Her response would be something like... "well it's black and it has one of those telescopy thingys on it? Why would anyone have a telescopy thing on their gun if it wasn't a sniper rifle?"

Anything for a little attention?... Lol... Can't fix stupid!

People hear the word 50cal and that's all they hear brain shuts off after that. I have had people think that I hunted deer in sw ontario with a 50cal sniper rifle you have to explain it to them that it's a muzzleloading BP rifle not something off of COD.
