All of a sudden, people will be able to kind of live out their fantasy of becoming a long-range sniper with an AR-15-style gun.Where to stay Image Credit: Peninsula PapagayoĪs the home of the only Four Seasons resorts in Central America, along with Andaz Costa Rica, Peninsula Papagayo has become one of the country’s most luxurious getaways. And this MCX Spear will essentially introduce that kind of capability to the semi-auto AR-15 world.
You don’t hear it coming, you don’t see the shooter. Like they literally fantasize about taking some guy out from a mile away, because the gun will shoot a mile. A lot of people want to be that long-range, thousand-yard sniper. This lengthy quote he extracted from a former firearms executive turned policy analyst is worth taking in: “There’s been this huge craze in shooting competitions to become a thousand-yard sniper. The great Michael Daly of The Daily Beast was on this story last year. (If the Uvalde police were too scared to intervene in that town’s school shooting, just wait until this weapon permeates the market.) It is, according to some reports I read, twice as powerful as an AR-15, and it’s specifically designed to tear through Kevlar or any other supposedly bulletproof material. It retails for $4,200, so it’s probably not within the reach of your average mass murderer.īut your mass murderer of above-average means will find a lot to like. market of the Sig Sauer MCX Spear, the “civilian version” of the U.S. Last year, for example, saw the introduction to the U.S. In 2021, Texas passed a law allowing Texans to carry guns in public without a permit or the licensing a permit would require and another law prohibiting state agencies and local governments from enforcing new federal gun rules (you read that right-prohibiting).

Well, at least, as of Sunday afternoon, he hadn’t gone out of his way to discuss anyone’s immigration status, as he did the previous week after the Cleveland, Texas, shooting, when he took pains to note the status of both the shooter and the victims. Governor Greg Abbott, meanwhile, offered the usual pointless bromides: “unspeakable tragedy,” “our hearts are with” the people of Allen. House of Representatives to say with a straight face that there is nothing we can or should do about these massacres. (I’d love to know the details behind all that!) Self cruised to victory.Īnd now Self gets to use his perch as a duly elected member of the U.S.
The revelation helped keep Taylor just below the 50 percent threshold required for a primary win. The woman was the wife of an American who had joined the Islamic State in 2013 and had been dubbed the “ISIS bride” by British tabloids. Taylor was seemingly headed toward a win when, two days before the primary, an Alex Jones–founded far-right website published an interview with a woman who claimed that she and Taylor had been having an affair. In 2022, he challenged GOP incumbent Van Taylor in the primary. Self, we should note, is about as accidental a congressman as a person can be. The anchor interjected that some people think “prayers aren’t cutting it.” Self responded: “Well, those are people that don’t believe in an almighty God who is absolutely in control of our lives.
