Can a precision instrument be described as “rough hewn”?? Is he confusing it with a stamped out AK-47?

Personally, I’m for giving this Brit a break. He’s new to the USA, but at least he chose Texas to move to.
Lets give it awhile and see if Texas can work his magic on him.

If this idiot doesn’t kill or maim anyone it’s proof positive that guns are safe.

You can teach a monkey to write your copy, Mr. Gavin Cleaver of Wales, but there's no way on God's Earth that can fix your hoplophobic thinking. However, you might undergo a revelation if you were mugged (and lived). Cleaver is a pathetic, girly man, metrosexual wimp.

Well, I understand why the UK no longer rules much of the world and Islamists feel free to murder a soldier in daylight on a public street.

The model of gun that was used in the Sandy Hook killings and divided my new country is perched on my shoulder, and I can't keep my finger off the trigger. Obviously this guy is from the UK...
He's full of Shiite.

WRONG!Given this backdrop, I was drawn to Houston by the chance to shed some light on Americans' fondness for guns — more than a third of households have one, although that number is falling — WRONG!
"I'm from outside the gun debate," I tell them. "I'm a neutral. ... WRONG!

I knew where this was going when I saw the words “rough-hewn black metal”.
Of course, maybe those words mean something different in Merrie Olde England.

"Journalist shot by NRA member" would be tough to spin, even for the guys who spin school shootings.
We would never shoot a journalist - bitch-slap 'em, maybe....

Gavin should seek some counseling for his hoplophobia. Poor thing.

I seem to run into asshat Brits, Canucks and Aussies with this head-up-their-rear mentality on a regular basis.
It is hard to understand their thinking. They are so convinced in their stupidity that it is just useless to try to hold a civil chat with them.
They exist in their own private circle-jerk of idiocy.
