I was living in Hattiesburg MS when they were considering a law to make open carry legal. The media were constantly referring to it as taking us back to the Wild West.
They ignored the fact that other states had passed similar legislation without everyone turning into a gunfighter.
I also remember a local TV station having a Hattiesburg policeman on regarding “assault rifles”. This idiot said that they could not be used for hunting as they were so powerful that there would be nothing left if you hit a deer with one.
Asking for honesty, accuracy, or integrity from the anti gun crowd is basically asking too much.
Years ago I recall a BATF agent being interviewed (I think it was by Katie Couric) and he was showing the interviewer the history of the ammo of choice of criminals throughout the decades. first he stood up on end a .22 caliber bullet and claimed it was the ammo of choice of criminals in the 1930s. On he went, .32, .38, .45 being the ammo of choice throughout the 1950s, 60s, etc. He finished his demonstration with a .50 caliber round, claiming that was the ammo of choice of criminals these days.
