To do that which the MSM isn't interested in doing - getting some of their facts straight...An LA Times blog raises a question about Newsweek's use of a stock photo for a magazine cover.The bit signs off with this: Hey, is that even the right way to hold a rifle? Can't you shoot your foot off like that?In which the author unwittingly reveals why gun owners roll their eyes when dealing with the press. Does it matter? Yes, it does, when ignorant people want to write the rules for gun ownership it matters, for in their ignorance, they make amazing assumptions...

Wouldn't Sarah need one of them to take down white socialists in Alaska or something?

Nup. You can use birdshot from a .22 Ruger for that -- there's not much substance to 'em...

Hey, John, these are the same people that say we don't need handguns for home defense because a shotgun will clear it out just as well, right?

And they know this because the military uses shotguns to clear houses, so that means civilians should use them in their own homes, right?

The bit signs off with this: Hey, is that even the right way to hold a rifle? Can't you shoot your foot off like that?

I'm not sure if a breechloader can discharge a round with the barrel in open air like that. But that's just me. Maybe Sarah Cudda has amazing powers of prestigiation that could fool us, what would we know.

I was hoping it was an elephant gun, too. Wouldn't Sarah need one of them to take down white socialists in Alaska or something?

Wow! I have read all of the comments on that post (yeah I don't have a life) and that gal was laid out on the pavement in the first dozen or so, and then everybody and his dog showed up to put the boot in. Among them Zoe Brain (twice) who is obviously even weirder than I am, and Billy Beck, the grumpiest guy on the internet.

Ya know, I've got the full wood stock Yugo M70AB1, but I keep thinking I need an under-folder like that one. The drum would be nice, too. Of course, that's at least $500 I don't have right now. But then again, I go the legal route. Come to think of it, I've been meaning to add a shotgun to the collection, too.

Things like this really tick me off to no end. John nailed all of 'em. I just wish we could grab this journalist and a few others for a week at Blackwater, Front Sight, or the Castle. Hell, send 'em out here and I'll do what I can on my budget. I've got rifles and a pistol and at least one friend with a shotgun. Of course, the best thing would be to send 'em to the closest military installation and have the grunts train 'em for a week or three.

And how I would have loved to have been there for Feinstein's shenanigan with the AK variant! I'd have loved to have grilled her over the proper rules for firearms safety and then I'd have turned on the cops for letting it happen!!!
