Checked the guide, they're doing a segment on the gun buying frenzy..

Good!
What's been sorely lacking is an in depth, hard hitting, unbiased, painstakingly researched bit of investigative reporting on this issue. And that's probably why 60 Minutes will endeavor to continue that tradition!

Well stated. Think I'll be napping then.

I could be wrong, but it might be a repeat.

I'm all gun frenzy'd out. What about the ammo frenzy?

Spotteddog · #6 07-19-2009, 06:38 PM

Exactly!
With it's flawless sense of timing, CBS once again snatches defeat from the jaws of victory. Now that the spot shortages are over and supply has caught up with demand for EBR's and high cap pistols, and shelves are once again stocked, now they're all over it! Following their 3 toed tree dwelling sloth like cutting edge reporting style, it'll take them 7 to 9 months once the ammo shortage ends, to get around to reporting on that too?

It is a repeat.

Spotteddog · #8 07-19-2009, 06:52 PM

Precisely.
You can't tell when it IS a rerun on that show. Because every spot on it looks and sounds as though it was found in a museum, then drug trailing dust behind it all the way, before the camera's.

Nope, it's a tribute to ole Walter, the most "trusted" liberal in America.

It was from a April 12th show. Now the "frenzy" is going to start all over again!!! No ammo! No EBG's!

In one part, they were talking about this guy who went into a gun show (from another show they had on guns a while back) to see how many guns he could buy. He is the brother of a girl killed at Virginia Tech.

They mentioned what he bought... (I'm quoting, not verbatim)

Reporter: Bob (or whatever his name is) went to the show and bought twelve guns. He was able to buy an assault rifle and even..

(quick transition to Bob)

Bob: A Glock. Like the one used to kill my sister but stronger.

Oh no! A GLOCK! And a STRONG one at that.....

Did they mention which model is the "strong one"? I sure wouldn't want to get stuck with one of the weak ones if I'm ever in the market for one? And are they available with those high capacity "bullet clips" DiFi keeps referring too?

My mother (kind of anti-gun) called me last night to tell me this would be on. When she called, I was in a meeting to discuss... importing or locally manufacturing cast or swaged lead bullets!

Was the same one from a month or so ago, Richmond, VA. took the brunt of the attack because of the Gun Show "Loop Hole". You just don't know who to believe or who you can trust to report the news as it really is. All the cars in the parking lot from "out of state" dealing out of their trunks. I'm sure all you guys saw this and I hope you were not too shaken by the rampant lawlessness represented by the producers. Luckily for us, our new savior has many, more pressing problems requiring his attention, according to the media responsible for the airing.
