These days, it’s getting harder and harder to make an honest buck selling killing machines.We showed you what Russian and Venezuelan communists are doing about small arms, so we thought it only fair to show what their domestic counterparts at The New York Press are up to.
Marxists with machine guns are good.
Armed citizens are bad.
Depending on which side you're on, that actually makes a lot of sense.
"three men were found in possession of “cop-killer” handguns that are specially engineered to penetrate the protective body armor of police officers."
ReplyDeleteThey're still repeating that bogus AP story, where a DA was claimed to have said that most police officers killed from 1994 to 2003 were killed with FN 5.7's that only came on the market in 2004.
But now, the one FN 5.7 that was seized has multiplied into more than one.
The New York Press is repeating and expanding the lie.
The truth is, 3 men were found with ordinary handguns that do not penetrate body armor. But that doesn't fit the gun ban agenda.
These days, it’s getting harder and harder to make an honest buck selling killing machines.
ReplyDeleteIs he talking about American automakers? I know that a) they're struggling financially, b) they make machines and c) vehicles in the US (many of which are manufactured right here) are responsible for 42,636 fatalities in the 2004 according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That, in my book, makes them more of a killing machine than a firearm.
email to Mr. Black,
ReplyDeleteLet’s see if I get your points correct:
A gun dealer in Georgia (or anywhere) runs a FBI background check on a potential buyer and it comes back approved. The buyer fills out a form 4473 stating that they are the legitimate buyer and are legally buying the gun. The buyer then transports the gun across state lines & sells it in NYC where it used in crime.
Because the buyer has broken numerous federal and state laws worth about 150 years prison time, you, Doug Black, blame the dealer, not the criminal who bought the gun.
Do you also blame the car dealers for all of the vehicle deaths in NYC? Your logic is disgusting, illiberal and ignorant. It is no wonder you choose to write fiction, you cannot tell the difference between criminal behavior and a heavily regulated retail business.
"Domestic enemy" is right! These are the same blatant lies that have been around for years. No way does this "reporter" not know this! He's nort ignorant; he's lying deliberately!

Sir,
The information you based your story on is false. NY News 1 which
reported the story has retracted it. I have included links to the
correspondence between Steve Paulus VP of news for News 1 and Kim du
Toit noted 2nd amendment supporter.
Please correct your story to reflect the facts of the matter.
Regards,

Kim du Toit wrote to News1:
" Regarding your story about the FN Five-Seven (not the “5.7"), I
find DA Brown’s remarks interesting, to say the least.
Brown claims that 425 police officers were killed with the FN
Five-Seven during the period 1994 - 2003.
Ahem. The Five-Seven was only introduced to the market in 2000, and
to law-enforcement only for the first three years of that period.
Nevertheless, let’s assume that criminals somehow managed to get their
hands on the Five-Seven from the get-go.
According to The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, a
total of 280 officers nationwide were killed by gunfire during the
years 2000-2003, making nonsense of Brown’s claim.
Which leads me to ask the following questions:
1.) Do your reporters ever check up on the facts included in
official Press conferences, or do they only do it when the politician’s
agenda doesn’t coincide with theirs?
2.) Are you going to ask Brown to “clarify” his statement, and/or
provide his source for his nonsense?
3.) Are you going to issue a correction of your report?"
News 1 VP of News Steve Paulus Replied:
"You are right. The statistics are wrong and we are removing the story
from our website. For what it’s worth, the number were cited by Queens
D.A. Richard Brown at his press conference. The other information in
the story also came from the D.A. While we tend to give credit to law
enforcement sources for knowing what they are talking about, we should
have realized that the statistics didn’t make any sense.
Thanks for the feedback.
Steve Paulus
VP, News"
