CBS Gets Caught Protecting a Leftist Gun Banner

August 6, 2001

I just sent the following to CBS feedback:

From: "Henry Bowman" <HenryBowman@azcentral.com>
Date: Mon, 6 Aug 2001 15:20:36 -0700

I enjoyed reading http://cbsnews.com/now/story/0,1597,305097-412,00.shtml ("Gun Lawsuit Misses Target"). But why did your editor decide to crop the photo of the hands holding the TEC-DC9? After all, the complainants were claiming that the gun was "promoted to high-risk users" and "appealed to criminals." What better proof could you possibly give them than to reveal the owner of the hands holding the weapon in your photo -- a grinning Senator Charles Schumer, obviously enjoying himself.

Here's the full, UNCENSORED photo:

Consider your liberal little selves busted.

In case CBSNews pulls their cropped photo of anti-gun Charles Schumer shooting the exact same gun mentioned in the article they published, here is their cropped version:

CBSNews ran a report on August 6, 2001 at the above-mentioned address in which the following things were said:

"... many of those to whom it made the TEC-DC9 available would criminally misuse it to kill and injure others."

"These guns were designed for mass killing...""Dennis Henigan, legal director for the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence, who argued the case on behalf of Ferri's victims, said Navegar should be sued."

"It was their decision to sell a combat weapon to the public and promote it to the high-risk users who intend to kill," Henigan said. "We would have no qualms against them if they just marketed it as a high-quality weapon." [Does that mean that CPHV now supports all handguns that are "marketed...as a high-quality weapon?" Or is Mr. Henigan lying to people for the hundredth time? And why, pray tell, is CBS printing Henigan's lies AGAIN?!!]

And make no mistake, it's Chucky alright. Here another uncropped photo taken within seconds of the above photo conveniently cropped by CBSNews:

Here is the archive of this hypocritical traitor's having fun at the range:

Am I missing something. Is this 2 1/2 years old?

[doug from upland]

I put 2001 in the headline and in the story particulars. This is old, but I don't ever remember seeing it. Pass around this photo of Charles at the firing range. Make sure people know it is real, not PhotoShop.

[flashbunny]

Wow this is old. I was actually the first one who spotted it and posted it on the firing line. I think it was on thefiringline.com since it was still around then. I had the original pic on my hard drive and recognized the gun and background. Someone saw it and sent it to keepandbeararms.com, and then it got picked up by the best of the web folks.

Strange how things work out this way...

[weegee]

I've seen the photo of Chuckie before (it's turned up in a number of threads as a humorous response to some postings).

I was unaware of how it had been cropped to suit an agenda. The communists were always good at this sort of thing (they would also paint out or matte in people into a crowd depending on whether so and so was a friend of the state or an enemy of the state that year).

[MetalMan]

umm.. these are two different photos. The larger photo shows gas release around the ejection port, whereas the small photo has no signs of gas. The large photo has no trees in the direct background, but rather off to the side; whereas the small photo shows the trees in the direct background. If you look carefully the shooter's left thumb is in different positions in both pictures. Finally the gun is at two different angles, the small photo the gun is angled up whereas the large photo the gun is angled down.

I guess here's my answer to why the photos are different!

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

If you need a caption for the picture of Schumer popping off a few rounds how's this.

"It should be illegal for the peasants to have this much fun!"

I had saved it back then.
Oddly enough the text just before the uncropped photo has been changed.

[punster]

Chuck the Schmuck, aka Chuckie Schumerde, aka Senator Putz, is one individual, who looks really scary when he has a gun in his hands. The Putz looks like he is in the throes of psychotic glee.

So Senator Chuck Schumer is a criminal with a gun. Well, it must be true if it was on CBS.

Pass it along....
