Bad reporting and boldfaced lies...

New York Daily News - Home - Firepower's expensive, addictive & 'glamorous'

...And impossible to hit anything with. But it's an attention-grabbing headline so who cares. Here's more in the NY Daily Snooze's latest series of attacks on handguns:

"Dangerous military-style weapons, like the automatic Uzi first used by the Israeli Army in the 1950s, have been returning to the city's streets since a federal ban on assault weapons expired in 2004, experts say."

The expiration of the "assault weapon" ban has done nothing to add to the proliferation of automatic weapons...weapons rarely seen in NYC at all by the way...because automatic weapons have been illegal since the 1930's. "Dangerous military style weapons" are considered dangerous by the loons because they look evil, so they must be evil. The Clinton-Ban froze the sale of anything that resembled a modern weapon, with no regards as to performance characteristics. And guess who the "experts" they are quoting are?

The clueless cops and the liberal gun haters. Same thing if you live in NYC. The police are some of the worst trained in the country because the standards must be lax so as to allow certain minorities on the force. And the weapons they use are a joke, because they are as afraid of guns as any lefty you can think of.

If I'm a cop I WANT some clown to pull a ridiculous weapon out of his coat just because he thinks it's cool and doesn't realize he can't hit shit with it. Let them have their Uzi's and Mac-10's. Inefficient firearms that require a great deal of training to be capable of hitting two things: The ground and/or the sky. Man turns on me and draws a Heckler & Koch in any caliber or a Glock 21, and in an instant I can tell at least one thing, he knows his weapons. In another instant anyone proficient in the schemes of modern weaponry can tell from his stance and demeanor if he knows how to use the gun, and that's FAR more important than the weapon itself.

And the creature who used the Uzi wasn't charged with carrying a "machinegun" because, as I suspected, the weapon in question was semi-automatic. They'll nail him on carrying without a license, having an illegal weapon (for the city of NY), and attempted murder for pointing it at the cops. He points it at you or me, by the way, and it isn't attempted murder, just "menacing".

We're just civilians. Sheeple. And according to the loons have less rights than the chairborne commandos who play cops and robbers. Or those wealthy enough to hire professional bodyguards to carry their guns for them.
