The radio went silent and the interview ended. And all I could think was, "Go Army!"
She should've said, "Well, I see you are taking full advantage of being equipped to be an a$$hole!"

LMAO, I wonder how many comebacks she thought of when she got home!

IMO, she was the one being an @$$hole, not him! Assuming this transcript to be true (which I think it was), it's a perfect example of a member of the media trying their best to manipulate a story off of society's current fears...a rather disgusting ploy, if you ask me.

Quite right. I can use Rifles (VERY effectively) and Shotguns but I've never shot anybody - it comes down to careful handling/understanding of what the things can do

I never said she wasn't...I merely suggested it as a good comeback by her for his prostitute remark which was uncalled for as effective as it may have been.

I'm quite a natural with rifles and handguns which is why I don't own any...I am afraid of not missing my mark.

LOL only inanimate objects for all the years of "practice" I have had both mobile and immobile. I have yet to miss an immobile target.
I won't shoot an animal unless I am going to eat it and since we have a major chain grocery store up the street, there is really no need...they clean and butcher for me too LOL.

Rifles are something of a specialty for me - 85% accuracy on Clays - Shotguns initially fired off to side because I'm short-sighted in one eye but I compensate for that - I only use one eye for rifle so it's not a problem - i LOVE sniping if I'm in paintball game - always get at least 5 kills before I go down

Same here...must be the one-eye focus thing, along with the shoulder to control kick-back. I am effecient with handguns but not as perfect as I can be with a rifle. I can't boast an 85% accuracy on clays though.

P.S. I've never played paintball though...been shot with B-B's a couple of times as a kid and don't want to invite the sting (I still have a B-B in the back of one thigh LOL)
