This is getting old

The more I blog, the more tired I get of reading the same old recycled crap that the MSM anti-gun "authorized journalists" have to put out.

“These are killing machines,” said Mack as he held an AR-15 assault rifle confiscated from a recent search warrant at 19 Woodlawn Dr. “These guns aren’t used for deer hunting or target practice. They are used to kill other people. They are made for war."

All guns are killing machines, in the literal sense. AR15's are not assault rifles because they're NOT fully automatic. They ARE used for deer hunting AND target practice. As a matter of fact, target shooting competitions are DOMINATED by AR15's. They can be used to kill people, but again so can any gun. They are not made for war. That would be the fully automatic M16 or M4. Some people have guns for defense and so they want guns that are good at killing people. There's nothing wrong with that just like there's nothing wrong with police having guns that are "for killing people.

That was the police man speaking. Now let's get to the totally biased reporter:

Most of the rifles displayed Monday were chambered for the very lethal 7.62 mm round. This the same kind of ammunition and firearm used in the July 27 shooting death of 5-year-old Mariyanna Tucker in Lone Oak Apartments on Hoy Road. The round is known as a “cop killer” because it can penetrate most any type of body armor used in the world today.

7.62x39? 7.62x54? 30-06? 30-30? 7.62 happens to be about the most common sized rifle round in existence. Obviously the author doesn't know anything about guns. The cop killer comment about makes me sick. Apparently anything that can kill a cop is a "cop killer". If a mid-sized sedan has the ability to crush an officer's skull, is it a "cop killer"? Again, almost any rifle (especially hunting rifles) will penetrate "most any type of body armor used in the world today".

In a way, it's our own fault that they think labeling something a "cop killer" is a bad thing. The primary purpose of the second amendment has always been to act as the final check on the government's power. Without a gun's ability to kill a policeman - or a soldier - the only thing stopping a government from completely subjugating its populace is the collective conscience of the politicians and bureaucrats running it.
