Delete comment from: The War on Guns
Having not attended, my issue with Appleseed centers primarily around the use of the sling a shooting platform, which is completely absent from modern military riflecraft. I question teaching a technique that has been all but discarded for use actually using your rifle as a fighting tool.
If you're teaching people to win competitions, I'm fine with sling use, but since Appleseed purports to be equipping citizens to be riflemen (which I take to mean people capable of using the rifle as a fighting platform) then using a sling seems, well, silly.
