Hopefully this liberal rag will get an editorial change after it review by the new owners....
The author could have spared a whole lot of ink by just writing,"I don't know squat about guns or gun shows and I am terrified of them. I want to stampede the panicky and uninformed into agreeing with me,"
I've worked gun shows where there are lots of undercover Feds and uniformed police walking around and where most of the DEALERS AND ATTENDEES would drop a dime on you in a hot second if they thought you were selling weapons unlicensed. Nobody wants someone screwing it up for everybody else by making the leftist nitwits right.
What a bunch of crap.
I wasn't aware that the SKS was a sniper rifle. I also like the part about the kid who shot someone had some friends that went to a gun show. Criminals steal guns from houses and cars during burglaries. The other three kids that got shot because they were trying to rob a drug dealer? This guy is retarded. Why don't we start outlawing lighters to prevent arson. It makes about as much sense.
The problem is in enforcement & always were, & never were registration.
For some reason they never mention the "girlfriend"/marriage loophole, the homo-boyfriend/marriage loophole, or the liberal corruption & traitors "I have a law practice & I love Bill Clinton" loophole. Yep, I have seen married felons and other unprosecuted felons given the guns by judges.
A loophole is a law applied in courts, not an activity done at a show or privately in "competing harms".
Because once you have registration in place, only those going through the registration loophole will get the guns, & we all know who those hypocrite bureaucrats are.
And as far as felonies go, they can slap a felony on anyone they want to for any kind of petty offense, and remove a felony on any hard criminal or terrorist for any excuse. This is another selective gun restriction loophole, because the true loophole's not in the gunshows, but at the courthouse.
It's an effective dictatorship when the dictator does not have to make the hits himself, but instead relies on a confederacy of hitmen who get to be allowed to be corrupt in exchange.
This whole charade is a loophole on the second amendment in the first place, as it is a vote for the firm & irreversible "job security" of the establishment.
The checks and balances apply on the state which is supposed to support the American revolution & not oppose it.
The dreaded "gun show loophole". How about the dreaded criminal mind, who, just like the computer hacker has a mind full of ways around laws meant to protect the public. Instead of focusing on legal gun shows and legal law abiding citizens, gun shows are the culprit, cause you haven't got any criminal names to make an article about so you can get paid and eat. Such is the state of journalism.
Typical of gun haters, these two sentences have nothing to do with each other.
1. Sure, the Hezbolla dude went to Michigan to buy a gun to smuggle into Lebanon.
2. If the undercover agent didn't do anything about the gun buy, was it illegal?
3. The whole article keeps saying "unlicensed seller" when the correct term is "private seller." And that statement the everybody who sells guns needs a federal license is totally false,
"....SKS sniper rifles. Armor-piercing bullets..."
Oh Judy, you ignorant slut.
Putting a scope on an SKS doesn't make it a 'sniper rifle'. Wait.. let me guess Judy, it was tricked out with a new 'scary looking' stock and maybe a bi-pod.
And Judy, any rifle larger than a .22 will pierce armor, body armor that is. So is that what you mean by 'Armor Piercing'?
Lastly JUDY, it's a M-A-G-A-Z-I-N-E, NOT a "clip".
I swear, it must be a union rule that every article about firearms be written by by some ditz reproterette. Sheesh, Judy, go back to fashion and cooking articles. Maybe you know a little about those topics.
Ps: Judy, "Machine Guns" are legal (subject to local laws), get over it.
Come to Tulsa {Wannamacher's gun show, the BIG one} next weekend and meet some of the feds finest. Their table will be easy to find .
They will be the only ones there NOT having a good time.
It's anti-freedom articles like this that make me dream more and more that a better, freer United States, is a United States without a press.
Lions, Tigers and Bears, Oh My !
What a wuss. I'm looking forward to the gunshow next weekend.
Liar!
I'm average, maybe even a little below average, but the only thing that awes me is stupid officials with below average intelligence.
Think I'll go SHOOT some clays this morning.....
For extra credit, exactly what feature(s) that can easily be seen tip the scale, making the otherwise legal non-assault rifle, into one that the federal government banned for 10 years?
Of course, libs love the technical points of the law when it is in their favor, but call those points "technicalities" when they are not. The above extra credit question could be rewritten as:
For extra credit, exactly that feature(s) that can be easily seen tip the scale by which the maker of a rifle that qualified to be banned is not banned?
“I don’t see how that can be legal,” one man remarked to a friend as he pointed toward a Bushmaster assault rifle — the kind of weapon used in the 2002 sniper spree that left 10 persons dead in Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia.
This statement's more loaded than the P99 in my dresser.
Assault rifles were displayed for sale
Assault Rifles are selective fire. So, were these true Assault Rifles, or is Judy L. Thomas a liar?
SKS sniper rifles.
Well, considering the fact that the 7.62x39 cartridge is less than half as powerful as the .30-06, it would be pi$$ poor choice for a "sniper" rifle.
Over the last couple of years, I've seen more and more articles, in which scoped hunting rifles are referred to as "sniper rifles".
This, of course, is S.O.P. for anti-gunners. Demonize the firearm first, then scream to have it banned. (This tactic has worked - to a degree - with so-called "assault weapons".)
More made-up crapola from the dinosaur media.
An amusing read from our, as always, amusing Kansas City RED Star. Remember April 15 is National Buy A Gun Day.
This article reeks.
