Mz Marin fails to identify the organization of the “law enforcement agent” which set up the Tec-9 demo. She makes no mention of being taught even basic gun safety procedures nor of shooting any semi-automatic pistol to get a feel for recoil, noise, etc. Sounds as if she was handed the full auto conversion Tec-9 and told to point and yank the trigger. Don’t know if the “LEO” was ATF or local but his agenda is quite clear. And he found the perfect willing dupe to broadcast it.
Bet they had some great anti-gun footage of panic at the range, people eating dirt, lots of noise, and some “holy s***” screams”, as well her shaky frightened voice over. Perfect theater.
From her lead, it sounds as if the “LEO” ran through quick DIY conversion instructions. ‘See how easy it easy, any fool can do this.”. And by extension implying that all semi-auto handguns can be modified in similar fashion.
And the closer comes at the end after presenting the model victim.
“No gun was recovered, so we don?t know if it was an assault weapon that blew a hole in their lives. But what we do know is that, as a category of gun, assault weapons serve neither sporting nor marksmanship purposes.
Assault weapons just spray death.”
See proof doesn’t matter, ‘it’s the seriousness [sic] of the charge that matters.”
