Pro-Gun laws gain ground

Nah, they just didn't hit anybody cuz they pitied the fool...

I dunno... those mini-14's don't have much of a rep for accuracy. It's the main reason I've shied away from them in general.

I was able to hit a 12" steel plate at 180 yds off-hand 5 out of 10 times using the stock iron sights on my Mini-14 last weekend on my first mag through it since purchasing it (factory setting, no dialing in of the sights). The sights are kinda funky but I don't think it has an accuracy problem. I wouldn't want to bet my life on having to repeatedly hit 200 yd targets with it but at 100 yds I wouldn't be so skeptical.

Isn't that the standard excuse for poor shooting? Ranchers don't seem to have a problem hitting coyotes or prairie dogs with them and I doubt they'd be such a popular platform if they were as bad as you're making them out to be. I hate the legal crap imprinted on the barrels but I have yet to see a Ruger that had accuracy problems -- Ruger shooters yes, Ruger firearms not so much.
