Evolution of arms

The semi-automatic 22-caliber sporting rifle I inherited from my grandfather holds 10 bullets. To reload, remove a long spring, drop the bullets one at a time into a long tube at the front of the rifle and replace the spring. Takes about one minute in a hurry.

How long to change a 100-round clip in todayโ€™s sporting rifle? Say the words โ€œchange my clip.โ€ Those poor deer donโ€™t stand a chance. Neither do you.

Even Ronald Reagan didnโ€™t think Americans should be walking around with assault rifles.
