Do you watch the news? Are mass shootings a concern to you? Do you see news reports of gun owners behaving badly (brandishing firearms in situations where it's not required, firing at a person well after they have ceased to be a threat and in at least one case I can name, actually executing a...
Right, they don't need an excuse - but careless, ignorant, and worse kinds of firearm owners give them reasons every day.
All we can do is be the example, not the excuse. Be respectful of the tool, be responsible, trained, and educated in its use, pass on constructive attitudes towards the 2A...
Exercising our constitutional rights come with responsibility, especially since they all exist to protect freedoms from government encroachment. Every one of them.

Some are, yes, and they work great as long as you always use exactly the same load as the reticles were designed for. This is great for military and LE - for military though, only as long as the supply to the battlefield is the right load. Anyone who has served or has studied history knows you...
This one does not. Regardless, they are generally designed to provide a standard reference, e.g., each graduation is one MOA at some distance. One MOA is one MOA whether it's a .223 or a .308 or a 40mm cannon.
I have the same rifle, walnut and all. Within 10 rounds on the range out of the box I was hitting 18" steel at 425 yards with iron sights 4/5 rounds.
I now have a Burris Scout 2-7x32 LER on there and shooting isn't even a challenge any more.
