SoCal FReepers/HRF: Let's C(if we see)BiaS

First things first, I have to praise God for an answer to prayer...

 

During the third and final presidential debate, John Kerry, on the topic of the sunsetting of the "assault weapons" ban, said something that made my head want to explode:

"And most of the law enforcement agencies in America wanted that assault weapons ban. They don't want to go into a drug bust and be facing an AK-47.

I was hunting in Iowa last year with a sheriff from one of the counties there, and he pointed to a house in back of us, and said, "See the house over? We just did a drug bust a week earlier, and the guy we arrested had an AK-47 lying on the bed right beside him."

Because of the president's decision today, law enforcement officers will walk into a place that will be more dangerous. Terrorists can now come into America and go to a gun show and, without even a background check, buy an assault weapon today.

And that's what Osama bin Laden's handbook said, because we captured it in Afghanistan. It encouraged them to do it.

So I believe America's less safe." 
 

Now as all informed FReepers know, the AWB had nothing to do with AK-47s. But his statement went unchallenged. And I begged God for a chance to rebut him, though I never thought I'd have the opportunity to do so.

 

Well, CBS 2-Los Angeles isn't nearly the same audience, but by a twist of fate I ended up in their studio against a Million Mom March (sic) rep whose opening statement put forth the same lie -- that machine guns were all of a sudden legal and that basically, because of that and, naturally, Bush, we were all going to die.

 

 

 

Mu-AHAHAHAHA.

 

 

 

Unless they've (shr)edited it...

 

 

 

Because if they haven't cut it, I basically FReeped Kerry and the Brady Bunch! Channel 2, 6:30pm tonight. If they did, I'll need your help, please, to FReep CBS (or, if a miracle did indeed occur, THANK them!).

Glad to see that Ventura is well-represented on FR! (This morning I got grumped at by a Kerryite for wearing a W pin at the Seaside Park flea market - she said she didn't want to sell to "George people"!)

We don't get L.A. #2 when we are at home in Oceanside but we're here in Glendale from today for the next week for our trial against the City for the sewer blockage in their sewer that flooded our Glendale home.

I'm still amazed by politicans who think that laws prevent criminals from doing what they're going to do.

[Feiny]

Counting down....13 minutes left to wait....I already opened the bubbly.
