If it's ignorance, it's willful ignorance. He chose not to check his facts.

He ran his article past the newspaper's fact checker who found a couple. They were removed before publication.

Lol. That explains it.

I kept looking for facts, but couldn't find any. Now I know why.  ;)

As emi auto matic can only fire one bullet at at time. even a fully automatic gun fires one bullet at a time.

Any hunting rifle can kill game from several football fields away. Not many hunters can make the shot though.

As for "shredding" bullet proof vests, what crap.

This "author" of this hit piece is an idiot.

This just goes to show that gun grabbers will say anything to convince equally stupid politicians to grab guns, which proves that NOTHING these morons say is true.

LOL!

I especially love to brouse the RPG section. So much to dream about!

It’d be like having a free credit card in B & H Photo’s store. I could do some real damage.

They did say semi-auto assault rifle didn't they?

The Browning 1919 is a trainer for WW2 gunners is it not? And it hardly is available for the public. If so, think of carrying this to a shopping maul to go postal. You wouldn't make it out of the parking lot.

A dedicated bad guy is probably always going to be able to get a gun, but why do we have to make it easier for them?” he asked.

I can make a similar argument about abortion.

York is baffled by that attitude, saying semiautomatic rifles aren’t needed for hunting or self-defense.

“It’s a weapon of war, not of sport,” York said. “I’m sure it will be a political battle, but the officers are out in the street fighting that battle every day.”

Where does it say in the 2nd Ammendment about the right to bear arms only for hunting? Oh yeah, now I see it: “shall not be infringed,...except for hunting”

Sounds like he hates getting interupted all the time and distracted from his donuts and coffee.

You should see Victoria Secret's selection.

They can kill from more than four football fields away, shred police officers' vests, fire up to 75 bullets at a time

And if you point them up, they can SHOOT OUT THE SUN!!!!

Chief York, you need to look up the reason why the second amendment exists. It's not for hunting.

The 2d Amendment comes after the 1st. The 1st allows a citizen to shoot his mouth off. The 2d allows a citizen to shoot anyone who is going to shoot the citizen for for shooting his mouth off.

Wild game has never been a threat to free political expression. However, a citizen is allowed to also shoot wild game when appropriate.

[Cicero]

You think that's dangerous?

[Kenny Bunk]

And if you point them up, they can SHOOT OUT THE SUN!!!!

Jeez, Laz. We better take away everybody's guns to save the Earth. Who knew?

[Oztrich Boy]

fire up to 75 bullets at a time

Tis true

Actually Leonardo da Vinci came up with the idea.

Thank you for posting that, I’ll add that some are suitable and legal for deer and black bear hunting, mine are.

[green iguana]

Okay.. I’ll bite.

What the heck is that?

Could there be any more bald faced lies in this article?

To be fair and honest, Gary should be considered part of Chicago.

To be REALLY fair and honest, it should be considered part of Hell.
