Nothing like personal attacks to strengthen your own arguments. Its a National Match Springfield M1A in a JAE stock with a high powered scope that I use for competition shooting and some hunting. Not sure why owning it and knowing what it is makes me uncivilized but way to stay on topic. Considering that Orwell was a veteran and by all accounts served very well I think my use of his quote is very fitting for me. Some reason you feel the necessity to call me out though?
