Old video - but I just found it - for those of us who haven't seen it yet.
Enjoy. ;D

I support what he is doing, and I agree with almost everything he says.  I wouldn't tear him apart on what he said, but I do wish he would have answered the evil AK-47 "semi-assault" weapon statement with the explanation of simple cosmetic differences.

I am amazed at how unprepared and lost the reporter was.

they can not think fast  they normally need a team of writers / spin Dr's to tell them what to say

Watch a TV field reporter sometime when they're not on the air, but getting ready. They write out what they want to say, then practice it X times. When they interview someone, everything is usually "canned", so if something different than they've planned out happens, they can't handle it. It's all about how they look presenting a prepared statement.

In this case, the "reporter" is a brainless, well-indoctrinated asshat NYC liberal.

She, like most or all of her colleagues in the industry are "news readers".

She's easy on the eyes which is rare for a liberal.  Dumb as a post most likely.

This is what shocked me.  It was a remote feed with her on her set.  He did not throw any curve balls that we haven't heard a hundred times.  She was not prepared with even the most basic of Bradyisms.  Maybe it was the cartoon holding guns in the background that had her scared.

+1. He could also asked hte question "If you're OK with me defending my home with my handgun, why aren't you OK with me defending my home with an AK-47? What do YOU think the difference is?
