Someone pointed out to me this excellent post from last October by Gullyborg, on why that socially concerned neighbor of yours -- or your Congresscritter -- who insists that he doesn't want to see your deer rifle banned, just those evil sniper rifles, is blowing smoke out of his ass.

What's the difference between a deer rifle and a sniper rifle? ......The name.
This is why my interests list now includes the specific phrase "sniper rifles".
