Donations to the VPC must have been slowing down.

I often wonder if these people don't "high-five" each other and make a mad dash to their computers any time an "assault weapon" is even mentioned in a crime?


"Wisconsin Hunter Murders Show Need For Effective Assault Weapons Ban—Armed Hunters No Match For SKS Assault Rifle

President Has Power to Fully Ban Import of All Foreign-Made Assault Rifles Such as SKSs And AK-47s

Washington, DC—SKS assault rifles like the one reported to have been used to murder five hunters and wound three others in Wisconsin over the weekend are a primary threat to police, the Violence Policy Center (VPC) reported today. So far in 2004, at least six law enforcement officers have been slain by SKSs. In the wake of the shooting, the VPC called on President George W. Bush today to use the Administration's executive authority over firearm imports to fully ban the import of all foreign-made assault rifles. Such an action would not require Congressional approval. The Bush Administration has specifically authorized the importation of SKS assault rifles from both Yugoslavia and Albania.

"Armed hunters were no match for one person firing an SKS assault rifle," said Kristen Rand, VPC legislative director. "This sad incident illustrates why the SKS is also a leading cop-killing rifle in America today."

1. Its kindof odd....

The center of their gun grabbing, anti assault weapon jihad was that those weapons were not used for hunting. "Nobody hunts with these weapons" if I remember the exact quote.

Cant really hang my hat on this guy's hunting ethics but, it sure seems like he was up in that stand for a reason.

"Cant really hang my hat on this guy's hunting ethics but, it sure seems like he was up in that stand for a reason."

And a model for all "responsible" hunters everywhere, he was.

Am I right?

And if he'd been doing his work with one of those real machine-gun thingies? Then we just couldn't say "nobody hunts with these weapons" either, I guess ...



Gonna get a couple of deer today; damn, they're shooting back ...
