No dude is going to get shot in the chest at 300 yards and look down and say "What is that, a 3 MOA group?"

Ok, I've got an El Camino full of rampage here, so what's the plan?If you can't win a gun fight against a lightly-trained individual during broad daylight with 88 rounds of 30-06, I'm not sure you'd be able to do it with... any other firearm.

Wonder if Iran will sit idle while the ISIS overruns the Shiite ruling party.
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! ... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - Patrick Henry in an address at St. John’s Church, Richmond, Virginia, on March 23, 1775.

CNN calls it a "power struggle".

All was good when Sadam kept the natives under control.

Yup. Always better having someone gas civilians and using helicopter gunships to shoot up people trying to flee the country than this.
I'm going to stand by my idea: Arm and train the Kurds. The Kurdish militia was ignored by the US under both Bush and Obama until now. Hell, sell them F-16s and AH-1s if they can afford them. Put some Green Berets on the ground with the Peshmerga and light up everything that isn't Kurdish, Peshmerga, or under their protection in the meantime.
Inform Iran that so long as they leave the Kurds alone, they can do likewise with the Iraqi Shi'ites.
Call up Putin and give him the green light on supplying arms and advisors to al-Assad, so long as he (al-Assad) is willing to play nice with the Sunni moderates.
Formally recognize the independence of Iraqi Kurdistan. Then let Iran and Syria annex as much of Iraq as they think they can hold against ISIS's "Islamic State".

Works for me. And by throwing Putin and Assad a bone, maybe Putin will ease some of the tension in Ukraine.Yup. Always better having someone gas civilians and using helicopter gunships to shoot up people trying to flee the country than this.
