"If I Only had a Gun" - not hopeful it's fair and balanced

[1776 Rebel]

I actually TIVOd this piece of crap. It opened with Sawyer saying Americans are buying Rifles, Pistols, and Assault Weapons (what no shotguns?) and went down hill from there.

I want to know who this "firearms trainer" Glen Dorney is. If he is an independent trainer I wouldn't go to his class if you paid me. NOT one mention from him of successful defensive use of a firearm. Shame on him.

excuse me but I have to puke now....

My BIG question is why did the NRA refuse to be interviewed?

I'm not surprised that the NRA refused to be interviewed.  By the time they got done editing and twisting the interview around who knows what it would have sounded like.
In my opinion the whole thing was staged bias phuching bull$hit propaganda.  Not a single positive firearm related point was made, but I didn't expect that anyway.  Excuse my language, but I'm getting pretty fed up with the media bias, lies, and collusion with the anti agenda.  I'm tired of being demonized because I exercise my constitutionaly guaranteed right to keep and bear arms.  I consider their statements hate speech.  If this kind of bias, discriminating agenda was practiced toward gays, miniorities, woman, musslims etc., the person or group perpetrating such an atrocity would be villified to the end of the earth.

Ah, let's do this again. 

ALT SCENARIO 1:   This time, unbeknownst to the "attacker", the student with the gun passes it to another student in a different part of the room.

ALT SCENARIO 2:  This time two (are more) students are armed, while the attacker only thinks one is.

ALT SCENARIO 3:   We go to the local jail and ask inmates if they would attack knowing that about half the class were armed?   If 25%?  If 10%.

ALT SCENARIO 4:   (for fun) All students are armed with paint ball guns and have them ready.  The attacker is lead to believe only one is CCW as in original scenario.

Alf,

How about we also put them in realistic clothes (ie NOT clingy shirts that are longer than most dresses!) and no bulky gloves.

People that have actually praticed drawing and if not taken a course at least watched, talked to, etc people and experts on the subject.

Yea, I'm surprised the girls weren't wearing prom dresses with their PPK "garter" holsters!!!

Most one sided, biased reporting I have ever seen!

As far a Bethlehem...heavy democrap area. (1st wife was from there.)

My BIG question is why did the NRA refuse to be interviewed?

Because they knew their interview would be edited down in such a way that it would make them look like rabid fringe lunatics.

Sorry, still no excuse.  They are professionals with ways of getting the message across.  That is one (major) reason we support them!

The point is that, through editing, "our message" would NOT have been the one getting across.  I think it could have cost our side much more than the potential gain when they knew it would be a hit piece.

In the interest of "Fair and Balanced" propaganda the NRA was probably not invited, can't be confusing the sheep with VERIFIABLE facts now can we.

I caught the end of it... wasn't the shooter a Cop? It looked like he got good hits, doh,I wonder why. Too bad the students had not availed themselves of good information and basic tactics. They should have put Oob and Farnham in the room as students. Now that would have been worth watching.
