Anybody else see the commercial for the ABC special (20/20) on Friday “If I only had a gun”? By the 30sec commercial it looks like it will be the propaganda that you can’t really defend yourself with a gun. Looks like they take some people off the street and run them thru a active shooter scenario. I wonder if they put them thru the minimum CCW class and them deem them the fastest gun in the West.
Sounds like payback for the gun expert they had on GMA a few days ago.
A hit piece, no doubt.
This is pretty much what I feared it was gonna be.
An all out “assault” on guns.
There’s a video clip there.
Looks like the price of ammo ain’t gonna be dropping anytime soon.
Wow…a college professor who ‘gets it’. :eek:
Did that douchebag just compare guns to vegetables and pistachios?
Pistachios will kill you, the government said so!
Grab your popcorn and get ready for this winner.
It airs in an hour.
More distorted crap.
Judging by the first 5 minutes this is going to be a “you’ll shoot your eye out kid” hit piece spin!
This thing is a howler. In the first few minutes, they demonstrate that a firearms instructor with his weapon drawn will probably win against a startled opponent who has his weapon in a snap holster with his shirt down. AMAZING piece of analysis. The lesson? Apparently that a trained assassin will probably succeed.
They must have locked John Stossel in the basement.
What a total waste this was a total hit piece aimed at gun owners. Biased at best…
Gents, this is a link to let ABC know your impressions on this piece. I would’ve written myself, had I seen it.
i shouldn’t have watched that piece of shit…
me being this irritated at 11pm at night means i won’t get to sleep until 3am at best…
which is bad for my health, my blood pressure, and could eventually lead to premature death…
maybe I should make a piece called “If only I hadn’t watched ABC…”
fucktwits…
“If only I had a gun…”
… I’d pretend I was ELVIS - I’d pretend I was watching Baba Wawa - and then I’d go buy a new TV on Monday… :mad:
I guess only RAMBO should carry at school beacuse there isnt any chance we can stop the terroist.
I try and keep an open mind but half the people they are talking about brought it on themselves by there actions and the life they choose to lead.
Anyone who has kids in the house and does not lock up there guns has only them selves to blame if there kid kills there self or others.
Mind-numbingly horrible.
Some gems at the end (not verbatim quotes, but the jist is there):
“if you are looking for the studies about citizens who have used their guns in self defense, keep looking. we couldn’t find any”
“one time a guy heard a noise in his house, got his gun out and fired at the noise. his wife is now dead”
What a bunch of crap. You know, people who want to harm others will ALWAYS find a way.
Weapons are banned in prisons, yet they still assault and kill each other. The hijackers that crashed into the world trade center used fricking BOX CUTTERS to take the plane. They want to ban guns, then I guess steak knives and pointed sticks will be next? Better not have a tree in your yard or you might be sued if some idiot breaks a branch off and pokes someone.
What I learned…
One person drawing from concealment using a snap holster is unlikely to get to drop on a dedicated assassin. Although one untrained girl actually did shoot him.
You can buy guns from another person. OMG!
One person drawing from concealment using a snap holster is unlikely to get to drop on TWO dedicated assassins.
Well, I learned a lot.
I especially love how they trained kids for 25min with a gun, put them in the most condusive room for a mass shooting, made the kids wear mechanix gloves with a big ass long sleeve t-shirt that went down past their ass, made them wear a helmet that limited your peripheral vision, placed them in the first row of the room, and then had a trained police officer come in and specificaly target the person with the gun, and bitched about how they got shot ,couldnt get the gun out of the holster or they almost shot someone else when they all were wearing the same goddam thing. The most unbiased work I have ever seen.
if guns actually killed 32 people a day, i’m sure there would be a problem.
when was the last time a gun got up and killed someone, though? how many people choke and die on guns a year? how many die of allergic reactions to guns?
fuckin retarded. if people started murdering each other with peanut butter and pistashios this guy might have a point.
