Okay, I found it. I have embedded the link, as well as copied and pasted it to this post. I hope this clears some stuff up for a lot of you. Freepers, of all people, should know better than to take quotes at face value when it's the MMMers and the Brady Bunch doing the quoting. They got their material directly from the NYT, whom, as we all know, is the most liberal underhanded rag in the country (except, perhaps, for the LA Times, but the NYT is where the rest of the news orgs. get their news. Nobody talks about it 'til it's been in the Times, and it's been this way for a hundred years) Anyhow, here's what I stumbled across on Thursday, sorry I didn't post it sooner. It is an excerp from the message boards at ar15.com.

Thanks SASsySIGster! They sure eat Thanksgiving early at his house. 3:47 AM? Maybe he was hitting the Wild Turkey, before getting to the bird?

The NSSF might have gone stupid on us.... (Fletchette/AR15.Com)
