Epic fail

A while ago, my friend back home in the US of America bought a super stupid gun rifle . He was in the hunt for a scope which lead to some reading of some pretty 'specialized' fora. This post amazed us both in its out-of-handedness. What a horrible, horrible, scared, life:

I have been very happy with this rifle to say the least, However one
night I was staying in a motel while on the road for work when some
"pillars of our community" decided to gather outside my hotel room.
That night I had my SPR with me so as a precaution I decided if I had
to address these guys I would rather do it with a rifle then with the
SiG P226 I CCW. This is when reality struck me… I removed the bipod
from the rifle, seated a 30 rd mag loaded with M193, and dialed the
glass down to its lowest setting- 3X…

I instantly knew this was no bueno! I didn't want to get into a gun
fight in a hotel room with a 3X scope on my rifle! So I removed the
scope (Thank you Mark LaRue), deployed my Troy sights, Mounted my
SureFire M600 and called it good…

No one needed to be ventilated that night but I thought it was BS that
I had to remove an optic from an AR-15 to use it as a QCB weapon!

I have found the solution- The US Optics SR-8C!

I commented on it elsewhere back when we first read it, but recent current events have reminded me of that. Also when I was just back in the states I held my friend's 5k of ridiculousness (euph).

At any rate, my friend and that poster are both great arguments for gun control. A special range that rents guns and lets you shoot them in a controlled environment isn't so much even if tragic accidents occur.
