Another news special on guns and ammo this Sunday
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1998/07/08/60minutes/main13502.shtml

Gee, I wonder what point of view they will be coming from?
-
If the current position of POTUS and Congress is compromise, BS, etc,....
The MEDIA will PUSH their OWN agenda, by running "reports", on guns/ammo, recent shootings, etc,...
They will attempt to bring the Brady Bunch and other anti's up and out front to FORCE stiffer reg's and restrictions regarding firearms.
The MEDIA is a power hungry lot, that knows popular opinion can sway a swayable Pres. ,,,,LIKE BHO.
Just a matter of time,,,,,has it been 100 days? We got a long way to go. :-\

You crack me up.... ;D

I can't figure out why the media is so anti gun. Without guns, shows like The Shield, CSI, and Southland would no longer be around to inspire folks to be cops and teach proper use of firearms. ER would have been a lot less interesting without so many gun shot wounds.
Their ratings would be much lower, and just think of all the lost advertising revenue!

PSJ,
They are not against guns, just YOU having them. Only elites like the rich and famous / hollywood / etc. need them. Not YOU, silly!
;)
-
I'm sure we'll see a hit piece from NBC(D) coming soon.
-
The terms "Pee on" and "Peasant" derive from the French term "piss ant".
Does that clarify your standing with the Socialist Elitists who "know whats best for you" ?
-
Just watched the segment. Not as bad as some MSM reports, but the interview with Dianne Feinstien was the clincher.
When Leslie Stahl asked (paraphrasing): "The Pres. isn't bringing this (gun control laws), up now is due to other crises and issues,
Good ol' Dianne said she agrees, but (this is a quote)" At the time and place of my choosing, it will be revisited."
We got a long way to go with BHO and the anti's. It's coming (previous post), ammo, AWB, tougher reg's.
It will just be a matter a time, before the BIG fight happens.
-
Yep, she said that alright.
But what you said is the real difference this time!
"It will just be a matter a time, before the BIG fight happens."
Her next attempt will NOT go unnoticed!

check this out then a story that happened over here on the 25/11/08

I thought like twyacht that the piece wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. I expected another ABC treatment. But Stahl actually had a very personable pro gun guy on. I am not familiar with this Virginia activist but I give him a +10. He came across as smart, articulate and not a neanderthal. He pushed back when appropriate and did it in an engaging manner. I liked his comeback to Stahl when she asked why not have everyone go thru the background check? His answer "why not have NO BODY go thru the background check"!

I note the same too. I also think that if they can't get THE EVENT they need, they are going to try to break the "stranglehold" the NRA has in Washington. How? I think they will pass more legislation that will attempt to dilute their influence- campaign finance reform, lobbying reform and RICO reform. It would not surprise me to see them attempt to go after the NRA under RICO statutes to bring down the organization. But the clearest path for victory for them is elimination by regulation....
This may seem ridiculous to some, but now is the time to go on the offensive and attempt to retake/expand our rights. Let's put these blue dogs to the test......
A randomly well placed thought......
And did anyone notice that they went to the same location as ABC? I wonder how close was the timing? Do you think there may have been some collaboration? Just a thought.....
-
FullAuto: I wonder if it's the NRA or how many gun owners there are?
I too thought the piece 'wasn't bad'. Two things were missed:
1)you can't legally buy a gun and possess it in VA (or any state) if you don't live in that state.
2) What is an Assault Gun? Wikipedia has the answer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_gun , but I don't think that's what Leslie meant. I think she meant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_weapon . Regardless, it was only defined (very poorly) by Di Fi and not the other side (see MB blog http://michaelbane.blogspot.com/2009/04/fair-answer-to-fair-question.html ), just like 'rich' isn't defined as to tax increases.
Why is every TV gun story either 'wasn't bad' or 'bad', and never 'good'? I will say the 20/20 2007 anti- gun control piece was positive.

Here's a TV gun show that was good ;D
