    but interestingly, Kirk was killed by a single shot outside the range of an AR15. Perhaps a musket, as the forefathers were considering when they wrote the second amendment.

      outside the range of an AR-15

      Have you ever shot an AR? The effective range is about 600 yards and this shot was 140. That’s stupid easy with an AR. I’m not a great shot and I can easily shoot a <1-inch grouping at 150 yards.

      That being said, it was a bolt action rifle which is inherently more accurate.
