An interesting article has appeared in the Houston Press, titled, “3 Reasons I Went From Being A Gun Nut To Supporting Gun Control,” written by columnist Chris Lane. In it, the author describes his journey from being a regular gun owner (he called himself in that state a “gun nut”) to someone whose attitude toward guns has significantly altered.

The basics of scope parallax adjustment (VIDEO)
The GY6vids guys sit down and go over the fundamentals of just what the heck is parallax adjustment, or adjustable objective (AO) on a rifle scope.
Sure, you know the standard two knobs (or tactical turrets) on a scope are for windage and elevation adjustment– but what about the third knob near the rear of the scope?
Its for adjusting parallax.
