Even the liberal media gets it

[Carl N. Brown]

Rupert Murdock. the Aussie who owns Fox, is a big fan of John Howard's confiscation of all registered semi-auto and pump-action long guns back in '96.

Fox was just as guilty of running video of blazing machineguns while discussing banning semi-autos as the rest of them.

And in discussing gun laws Bill O'Reilly always starts talking about "machineguns and bazookas".

I am surprised, quite frankly, when accurate gun reporting gets through Fox, like Maxim Lott's analysis of the fallacy of the "90% of mexican crime guns come from usa" stat.

ADDED:

Only the breakdown single shot has no military history.

Bruce N. Canfield, "Collectors Guide to United States Combat Shotguns", Mowbray 1992, page 64, shows a New York National Guardsman on maneuvers armed with a single barrel breakdown shotgun issued through Blanket Procurement for pre-WWII training. Yeah, those were the days of training with broomsticks and trucks with "TANK" signs on the sides.

Also MASH units used .22/410 survival guns taken from deactivated bombers to control rats vermin around garbage dumps. Some were M6 aircrew survival guns, but they also issued Savage Model 24 combos for survival use in WWII.

I doubt that Senator Feinstein's staff wants to spend any time answering questions. Why do that when we could just go along to get along.

I don't think hunting will ever be in danger because it provides a necessary function. If not for hunters, deer would be out of control and hogs moreso than they are now.

Perhaps, but you don't need to keep our firearms at home in order to hunt. Hunting season comes around the same time each year. It would be much safer for you and your family to keep your firearms locked up, say, at the local National Guard Armory. After all, it is for the safety of the children.

Same for target shooting, government approved ranges with secure lockup for firearms. You can only use the approved ranges that have budget busting state of the art bullet recovery systems. We must stop the release of lead into the environment, again, it is for the children.

Now that all the firearms are out of private hands, everyone is perfectly safe. Why, while I was typing this, filled with happy thoughts a Bluebird landed on my shoulder!!

I can't wait till we are as happy and secure as the folks in England are.

<<<Sarcasm off, for now.>>>

"Hunting and sporting weapons"
Why are they weapons?
They are just shotguns or rifles until they are used as weapons.
Are hammers and screwdrivers weapons before they are used as such?
