High powered scopes
As I was watching the latest newser drone on about the latest person whose attack (with guns) was thwarted, I noticed one peculiarity: the focus of the newser on "high powered scopes" as if that is now a thing that should be regulated, because it makes the gun more dangerous.
My guess is the gun grabbers are coming for scopes soon, and it will be illegal in some places to have a scope on your weapon.
These are the times in which we live.

Sadly they will never stop or run out of causes and propaganda
And a endless supply of money
I would also wager a lot of money donated is claimed as administrator fees so no way too get the gravy train to stop

You can do this sooner with high powered scopes

just goes to show, you need a big variable scope, like 6x20, then put it on 6 power and use the low power scope..............

You can have my high powered scope when you pry it from my cold dead ocular orbit... Nope. Doesn't work like 'cold dead hands'.

3 volts is needed to properly illuminate the reticle. Anything higher is an assault scope.

Well I guess my Nightforce 15X55 Competition makes my 22LR single shot bench rest rifle into a ultra deadly magnum assault weapon.

My 6-24x scope identifies as a 2.5x, and the .220 Swift it sits on identifies as a .22 Short.😛

As they can not tell the difference between Semi-Auto and full Auto, Magazines Vs "Clips" etc. I imagine any scope that holds more than ten rounds will be considered HIGH POWERED 😜
Or if it is attached to a firearm they do not like, that too will make it HIGH POWERED !!

Yikes my 6 x 284 with a boosted Leupold to 25 x 50, I surely would be a felon.
But maybe not as the scope identifies as a 6.5 x 25

I'm going to put Dewalt and Makita stickers on all of my scopes so they will be looked upon as just being TOOLS! 😁

Even though I can see in total darkness 2000 yards away, does that make my scope more deadly?

I've always asked my shooting friends. Which is more dangerous; my AR-15 with a high capacity mag or my bolt action .223 with a scope. 5 shots each at 100yds. At least you can see the guy with the AR-15. Correction - the half dollar is a 3 shot group.

We play a game where you have to put all five shoots on the quarter at a 100 yds and we measure the tightest group of the 3 out of 5 holes.
When I take new shooter out and let them shoot one of my precision rifles at a quarter a football field away, they get pretty excited. I like to give them the quarter, even if they only hit it once, as a cool souvenir.

Jed Clampet and Jethor could strike matches at a pretty good distance with open sights.
I have few scoped rifles that can do it all day but the fellow on the trigger, not so much.

Scopes and magazines were removed from ITAR law during the Trump administration
Meaning they can be imported and exported without being classified as military weaponry.
That will be a difficult hurdle to overcome for the libs.

A good high powered scope should help with that.
