This routine is getting old. I remember when Clinton was pushing the AW ban through congress, some enterprising TV reporter found a group of 3 or 4 people claiming to be hunters somewhere in upstate NY who seemed extremely eager to denounce the evil AWs and to explain why no hunter needs an AK to hunt deer. One particularly goofy character piped up and said there was no reason why anyone except cops and the military needed more than 6 rounds in any gun. All of them agreed that the Clinton AW ban was urgently needed to prevent more massacres in schools and drive-bys in the ghettos.

I found the interview very unconvincing for a couple of reasons. For one thing, it was summer and they were out in a field dressed in hunting garb,(no hunting season in summer) and for another they were very careless in how they handled their shotguns, which suggested to me that they were quite inexperienced in gun handling for hunters of their age. I wasn't convinced they were really gun owners then, and I'm not convinced the writer of this piece is either.

Since that time in '94 when I first saw the technique used, I have seen it used over and over on newspaper opinion pages and on the tube. It must be that the antis think they gain credibilty by portraying themselves as gun owners and hunters just before ripping into those of us who believe the 2nd A actually means what it so clearly says, and denouncing us as extremisits.

I for one don't believe the author of this garbage owns a gun, and I doubt he could figure out how to load and fire a single barrel shotgun without help. I would bet that if someone were to do a bit of research on this guy they would find his name on the roll of at least one antigun org, but would search in vain for his name on the MN state list of hunting licensees. I don't put ANY dishonest tactic past the leftist anti-gun crowd, especially lies and misprepresentation.

Sound just like the way Republican RINOs here on FR behave.
