Default A Pro-gun story on CNN!

I just saw a story on CNN that I couldn't beleive! A woman in Texas was about to be robbed. She had cameras outside her home that showed 2 thugs trying to kick her door open. She said "as I watched my cameras I grabbed my handgun and I was going to shoot at the first shadow that came around the bend." THEN CNN said "that's not all she had waiting for them" Then CNN's camera crew shows the woman showing off her new AR-15! Then CNN said that you don't even need a license in Texas to protect your home with a rifle or shotgun.

Wow! Promoting the protection of law abiding citizens by use of letal force by any mainstream media outlet is awesome to see!

There is a bad side to that though,

By saying that, they promote the further belief that you need a "license" to protect your home with a handgun though. That, and popular culture belief that you should have to have a license. ...other than that, its pretty good for Communist New Network.

They just ran that story again and that "AR-15" might actually be an XCR. Can't say for sure. They first time I was runiing out of the room to type this thread and the 2nd time I just caught it as I was walking in and saw that folding stock that looked like the XCR. Anyone else see it?

That would be rather funny considering the current discussions going on about ROBARMS.

CNN has the hotties. They have it on at work and I tune out the sound and look and the funbags.

Next is probably CNBC (I think thats what it is.. the one that has stocks all the time). FOXNews, sadly, is a bunch of old guys. Good news, bad eye candy. Even their reporters are mostly dudes.

Fox News has a weekend weather babe that I am madly in lust with.

I can't remember her name, but she is hot.

Yes I am a dirty old man.
