Oh, I agree....they tried to spite their faces by cutting their noses off.cb1000rider wrote:You guys are forgetting what all this stuff did for the value (at least temporarily) of AR-15s (and similar weapons). And that value was driven by a massive demand spike.... So it seems to be that the net net was:
1) No real legislation made it through (exc California)
2) A substantial increase in the sale of AR-15s and similar modern semi-automatic rifles
3) Substantial industry growth
I can tell you that I had limited interest in owning one until the prices got run up and there was movement to ban them... So be polite and thank the other side. :-)

Re: CNBC: America's Gun: The Rise of the AR15
It reflects how sophisticated the tools of propaganda have become. The MSM knows just what buttons to push and how to lie in a way that let's the ignorant believe the media pretense of objectivity. In a segment like this they're attempting to sway the undecided with an emotional appeal...."their side" is calm and balanced, while "our" side is crazy and irrational.....when of course, the exact opposite is true. But they don't portray the wacky rants of those who want to SWAT open carriers or put NRA members in concentration camps. Fortunately, the 3 and 4 letter media outlets are becoming increasingly irrelevant. The legacy media can't end soon enough.

That's what I'd expect, so please tell us why it's cringe worthy so the rest of us don't have to suffer through the video.The Annoyed Man wrote:I just watched it this morning, and it made me cringe.
