72. Earth To Gun Activists

Out here in the Real World, an individual who takes a place of concealment with a scope-sighted, center-fire rifle and then shoots persons at a distance is considered to be a sniper. No quotes required. If you want to adhere to a different definition which you found in the Sniper Worshippers' Handbook or something similar, go right ahead. Just don't expect everybody to agree with you.

You're trying to do to "sniper" what your movement has been trying to do with "assault weapon" for some time now: attempting to control the definition , make it narrow, technical and esoteric, to further your gun-happy political agenda. You're not fooling anybody here in the Real World....
