The media SUCKS at reporting .... especially w guns involved

PostBy: SMITTY On: Wed Jul 25, 2012 9:24 pm

Like Ted Nugent, I'm about to have a brain hemmorage every time I hear the media talking about "assault" weapons, and "armor-piercing" ( :lol: ) bullets. They don't have the slightest clue WTF they're talking about. Is it asking too much of the media to educate themselves on a subject BEFORE spewing untrue nonsense about it?? Good Lord!!

FACT #1: YOU CANNOT BUY FULLY AUTOMATIC WEAPONS AT EVERY GUN SHOP!!!! :mad: The media always implies that an AR-15, or an AK is a full-auto version -- exactly the same as the military. :roll: :lol: WOW ...

FACT #2: NO CIVILIAN CAN GET ARMOR-PIERCING BULLETS!!! I believe they are referring to "hollow-point" bullets, but who the hell knows. Law enforcement uses hollow-points. There's MANY reasons for that ...

FACT #3: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN ASSAULT WEAPON!!! This is a moronic, media-invented term to describe a tool that looks scary to them. When your pampered your whole life like a poodle, I suppose any gun painted black can be .... scary! :o

I could go on all night, but I'm getting sick of typing things that EVERY AMERICAN should know!!!

Yeah I'd expect nothing less from you hommie. Interject with emotion, instead of facts. Right out of the left wing playbook. :roll:

Didn't your mom want the basement cleaned?

Check this out, this quote from Romney:

http://www.ajc.com/news/nation-world/ro ... 84811.html

"This person shouldn't have had any kind of weapons and bombs and other devices and it was illegal for him to have many of those things already. But he had them," Romney told NBC News in an interview. "And so we can sometimes hope that just changing the law will make all bad things go away. It won't."


Here's the articles title:

Romney: 'Many' of suspect's weapons were illegal


See what they did? They quoted the single word "many", removed the word "things" and inserted "weapons". Basically they put words into his mouth to make him look like a fool because everyone knows they were legally purchased.

Bottom line. Guns don't kill people,people do! This guy had a real big chip on his shoulder about something. I think if he would have caused harm in one way or another, gun ban or not. :(

What a switch I got to agree with plumb, a nut case will find a way the only thing is there was a law in effect to make this way a bit harder (not impossible) he would have had to get the large clips illegally but it's not extremely hard. Ordering that many rounds at a time on line should have sent up a flag but it doesn't change anything. Don't see much use for tear gas or body armor around the house either but it makes money for some & some little boys still have to play & make a lot of noise.

Charleton Heston said it best, "there are no good guns or bad guns, only good people and bad people".

I heard that dip-$h-t Congressman Gutiearwax (SP?) from NJ the other day calling a AR-15 a 'STREET SWEEPER"!! The bobble heads were out in force of course.

Funny, they don't a mini-14 a Street Sweeper....hrmm, guess they didn't know you can get them in Black Furniture as well. We all know the guns are "Military" Weapons that the cilivians should not posess.. especially if they're black or have AK in front of them. Some even have Bayonet lugs GASP!

From what i was reading, the movie theater has a sign that "bans concealed carry" while in the theater. He picked that place just because of that. He knew nobody would shoot back. Some survivors and family are suing the theater. The guy is wacked up in the brain. There is a website which claims he was brainwashed and it was staged.

I have to agree that "The media SUCKS at reporting". I don't think it's limited especially to guns. I even read a member of the mainstream media complaining about it. He asked, more or less, "Why do the presidential candidates say such extreme things?" His answer was, because the media never really analyses the truth or falsehood of what is said. In an effort to appear impartial, and because reporters are lazy, it simply reports "he said, she said" without pointing out that some things said are ridiculous. :mad:
