    No kidding. It's almost satire, which is why I don't have a youtube channel, twitter, instawhatever or anything like that. They'd probably declare me a terrorist training channel.

    I just got a mental picture of emo kids meeting up at a community center annex wearing urban camo pants, Bad Religion t shirts, and black trenchcoats having M4C style debates on why Hi Point carbines are better than bushmasters for shooting up schools and how their moms are bitches because they won’t let them paint their rooms black

    They lost me at "heavily armed". These reporters as such clueless bitches. Any time you hear that phrase you know you're in for an earful of nonsense.
    Nothing more than another hit piece, and the "school shooter" and "paramilitary rebels" parts were just icing on the cake... And in other news, Toyota is the favored brand of ISIS, why would anyone want a truck associated with terrorism?... WaPo can continue to sod off.

    Seriously, WHY does the gun community continue to cater to these f***sticks who do nothing but smear us at every opportunity? I mean the people interviewed HAVE to know by now that A) everything they say is going to be twisted and shoehorned into anti-gun bias, and B) you're not going to change anyone's mind who's reading an article on WaPo/CNN/etc etc....

    Never forget that the socialists seem to grasp this better than we do at times.

    Our side has its Attention Whores just like the other... and never underestimate the pathological need to Virtue Signal in a Forever-Preening Moral Narcissist. Kinda like a black-rifle version of Fudd Disease...
    You really have to ask why Conservatives have guns? Because Liberals block freeways, burn cities, throw Molotov cocktails, loot, turn over cop cars, and think this behavior is Socially Acceptable.

    You're never going to change anyone's mind if you stay in your little corner, either.

    You want to change people's minds, you need to reach out to them. Some people will only be reached through WaPo/CNN/&c. And, sure, you may not change anyone's mind. But you don't change someone's mind 100% of the time that you don't try.

    I can remember a range owner in FL who invited the local news to his story after Sandy Hook. He went on to explain that it's ILLEGAL to have ammo shipped to your home but people do it anyway and ignore the law. Then he went on to have employees demonstrate the AR-15 with a 100 round beta drum explaining that a "shooter" could kill 100 people or more without ever having to change the magazine and that is why banning high capacity magazine (I guess in his mind he meant 30s) was pointless.

    He then said about a dozen other things that were wrong or misleading. Every other news channel of course picked up the story or at least the footage of the guy shooting an AR with a 100 round death magazine.

    Not sure if he was trying to play the "honest and will tell it like it is" gun dealer or if he thought it would be a commercial for AR-15s with 100 rounds of death beta mags, but I know I stopped shooting at his range even though it was 5 minutes from my house and pretty clean. There will never be a shortage of dumbasses who willingly throw us under the bus, even when they sell ARs and high capacity magazines.

    Wish we could all agree on ONE THING, "don't talk to the media" tell them only FO and keep walking.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Can't be done when your message gets distorted on purpose. If there was a unbiased media, you would be correct.
