What type of gun was used in the Chicago area shooting on July 4th?

I am firmly in favor of gun laws and controls but still support the right to bear arms.

But long before Kamala Harris, at least one news article described a .308 rifle as a "military rifle."

Back in my long-ago deer hunting days, I carried a very pretty .308 I got for my 29th birthday built by my late father-in-law, who was a gunsmith. It was more or less considered a "girl's gun," and held six shells.

Yes, it could and did kill deer and could certainly have killed people.

The trick has to be keeping guns out of the hands of the arguably insane and out of the hands of youngsters whose brains have not fully developed.

I never pointed my .308 at a human.
