Indisputable facts only:

2:37 – “These bullets are traveling three times the speed of light.”

She goes on to say some other factually incorrect firearm things later in the video.  I get it, she’s nervous to be on TV and shook up over the whole situation;  I would be too, but misinformation like this is doing nothing but getting people even more worked up and scared.  Will MSNBC correct or delete this video?  My guess is absolutely not.  If anything I’d expect them to cook up ways to double down on the hysteria.  If it were me, I’d probably mention that it only takes A mere 1.25 seconds for 1 shot from an AR-15 to get to the Moon if you were to aim the rifle straight up into the air and shoot.  

I typically don’t talk about horrible world events on here, but this whole trend of blaming everything but the mental health of bozos who do terrible things is clownish and embarrassing.

Our buddy MrColionNoir makes MSNBC:

“I don’t know if you’ve seen it congressman, but the NRA is out with a new ad that specifically targets African American youth.”

Hahaha the NRA x MrColionNoir ad targeted African American youth? How?  Because MrColionNoir happens to have more melonin than Conan O’Brien for instance? Oh I get it… before there were just white NRA spokesmen, so it was real easy to say that the NRA was “racist”. *smh*

That New York rep Charlie Rangel rambles on and on, and says a bunch of stupid shit about how the ad is an insult to the American people’s intelligence, and how there’s no reason we have “assault weapons for hunting and other non-criminal purposes”… *eye roll*  whatevs bro.

No big deal… ;)

They could not have picked a more epic FXhummel1 line to close out that segment.  I think they thought it would make gun owners look like nut cases, whereas I’m pretty sure everyone watching was probably like “LOL Damn, that’s awesome.”

I wonder if I could put a “As Seen On MSNBC” logo on my site? haha I don’t know the legality behind that but I’ve seen people do it.

Although the term “Coward” springs to mind again (LOL), I’m quite glad Buck Yeager didn’t make an appearance on that TV show and repeat his “I’ll kill anyone who tries to take my guns” bit.

Oh and the name of the segment, “Fear And Loading”…. ha ha haaaa :/  I bet whoever made that up was high on success all day at their clever Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas pun.

As always you can pick up a number of awesome gun related t-shirts over at ENDO Apparel.

This made my day:

NBC contacted (the Metropolitan Police Department) inquiring if they could utilize a high capacity magazine for their segment. NBC was informed that possession of a high capacity magazine is not permissible and their request was denied. 

Full story – Fox News

LOL priceless… but he went and did it anyway.  What would be even more hilarious now would be if he doesn’t just get away with writing a $1000 check, and actually has to go to jail for a bit.

I cried “double standard” at first, even though I speculated that it may have been a prop or airsoft.  I’m curious to see where this goes now, because I’m thinking he still could just get a slap on the wrist.

If you missed the initial story and video you can check it out – HERE

Thoughts?  Do you want to see D-Greg out of that suit, into a jumpsuit and given three hots and a cot?

OH NOES!  Breaking a D.C. gun law in the process.  It happens at 9:56:

Legal in Washington D.C.:

David-Gregory-MSNBC-Legal-AR15-Magazine

Illegal in Washington D.C.:

David-Gregory-MSNBC-Illegal-AR15-Magazine

The law (§ 7-2506.01):

No person in the District shall possess, sell, or transfer any large capacity ammunition feeding device regardless of whether the device is attached to a firearm. For the purposes of this subsection, the term “large capacity ammunition feeding device” means a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device that has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition. The term “large capacity ammunition feedingdevice” shall not include an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition.

A person guilty of this charge can be sentenced to a maximum fine of $1000 and/or up to a year imprisonment. 

Enjoy your fine or prison sentence.  Oh wait, that will never happen.  Even if this does get a 2nd glance by law enforcement, MSNBC will likely claim it was a prop magazine not a real one, airsoft, or something similar then it will be swept under the rug.  I think the law he violated is ridiculous in the first place, but that’s not the point.  If they would bring up an average person on charges for possessing a magazine such as that one, then there’s no reason he shouldn’t at least have to write a check for $1000 at the very least.

Thoughts?  Do you guys like double standards as much as I do?

The amount of firearms villainizing and false information in this video makes my head spin:

Full story at MSNBC – HERE

Police grade pistol!  Hollow point bullets!  Semi-automatic assault rifle!

“No paperwork, no background checks… probably couldn’t pass the damn thing anyway” <— *facepalm*

OMG the one guy’s 7 year old son came along for the exchange!  The humanity…

This is the icing on the cake for the entire video though:  .50 Caliber sniper rifle that has a range of 5 miles.   LOL yea I don’t doubt the bullet would go 5 miles, but considering the furthest confirmed sniper kill is at 2707 yards (1.54 miles)  why bother even pretending the average person could shoot semi-accurately at anywhere near 5 miles distance.

The best was the guy’s response to the reporters comment of “it can take down a helicopter”:

Oh it can take a plane, it can take anything! That’s a .50 caliber, I understand!

Funny how they kept talking about “online purchases”, when the purchase was face to face.  A real story would have been if they would have paypal’d the seller the money and convinced them to mail the firearm directly to them (the buyer).

Thoughts?
