"[R]apid-fire, high-powered assault-style rifles in Peoria"!!!!!
HELP!!! IT BU-R-R-RNS!!!!
And it's not the poor cop's fault. You need to put what he said in context with the rest of his statement:
"It's not the gun itself, but the person standing behind the gun."But if "Authorized Journalist" Leslie Fark has a chance to introduce hysteria into the mix, then dammit, that's just what she's going to do.
[Via Bryan E]
Fark must go through life with perpetually peed pants; hysteria meets nitwittery writ large.
ReplyDeleteWow. If they're really pissing themselves over "discovering" a couple of dinky little AKs, they want to be careful not to "discover" the M1As my friends and I carry and train with. I'd hate for them to have fear-induced aneurysms or anything...
ReplyDeletePropaganda for a number of reasons.
ReplyDeleteOne question comes to mind. If the AK is semi automatic why do the cops need full auto? Can't cops pull the trigger as fast as a criminal?
This is one of the better pieces of propaganda I've seen on the AK in a long time.

"Nothing more dangerous..."
ReplyDeleteOh REALLY? So the Dragunov which is both a scoped precision (Kind of) weapon that is semi automatic is less dangerous.
How about an M249? That Must be more dangerous, it's belt fed.
*facepalm*
I don't get it, hysteria abounds and the statements of the cop about WHO is BEHIND THE GUN gets buried amid hysteria.
This just screams for a good fisking. Unfortunately, my fisking skillz are weak, and I'm at work now anyways.
ReplyDeleteI may take a shot at it while I'm at lunch, though. If no one else has done it yet.

This is why, when I go hunt Cape Buffalo, I leave the .375 Magnum and .458 Lott in the gun safe and take the AK. Superior penetration of the 7.62x39 medium velocity round.
ReplyDeleteAnybody remember those Florida cop jokers trying to put down a rogue circus elephant with .40S&W pistols and M-4s? AS I recall they basically annoyed it/bled to death cruelly over a great period of time.
IF ONLY THEY'D HAD AN AK in 7.62x39, that elephant would have been down with the first shot!
:-)
Fisking done.
ReplyDeleteProbably not very well, though. Anyone who can do better is welcome to it.
