I surely don't condone Vang's activity whatsoever. I woulda shot him if he was throwing lead at me, but this "high powered assult rifle" he was hunting with as some media sources have claimed is far from and M-16 or something of that sort. He was using a Chinese SKS which is a semiautomatic vintage rifle. Its a 7.62x39mm cartridge. Its comparable in size to a 30/30.
