750 yards is a helluva' poke. I've never shot with a scope. My longest shot and deer kill was only 30 yards here in brushy western WA. That was part of the reason I switched to bow hunting.

Sal, no doubt the Democratic Party has been schitzoid about firearms since Kennedy was shot. But I vote for a lot of Dems, so I consider it part of my civic responsibility to let them know that I support the Constitution, including all Amendments. Considering that the Republicans are against almost everything else that I'm for, excepting the 2nd Amendment, I'm more comfortable voting for Dems and think there are plenty of other 2nd Amendment supporters who vote for Dems that we can thwart any attacks on the 2nd Amendment while promoting a generally liberal agenda. As with so many things, the anti-2nd Amendment types are a highly vocal minority, loud, but still a minority.

Hank, after reading the DC 2nd amendment decsion, I don't think the SCOTUS composition would have mattered much at all. The decision would have still come down the same. Talk about muddled reasoning, given the usual articulateness and intellectual rigor of their decisions, this was the most poorly written SCOTUS decision I've ever read. I speculate that was not an accident.
