Someone needs a class in outcomes management.

Fourth graders find gun, do wrong thing. Eddie’s rules are easy:

If you see a gun:
STOP!
Don’t Touch.
Leave the Area.
Tell an Adult.

not:

STOP!
MESS WITH!
CALL OVER BUDDY!
REMOVE MAGAZINE!
TAKE IT TO THE TEACHER!

I blame the parents.

The U.S. Army has ordered 38.4 million rounds of .300 Winchester magnum ammunition for its newly modified M-24 sniper rifles, as well as similar SOCOMs Mk13 models.

Finally. One bit of concern, though:

By replacing the barrel and receiver of the $6,700 M24 sniper rifle, for about $4,000, you can fire the .300 Winchester Magnum round.

$4000? Holy cow! One upside is that 38.4 million rounds will soon be once-fired and on the used market.
