Gun Stuff to Read...

The Ten Ring visits a MA gunshow. And a good time was had by all.

Speaking of CNN, which I wasn't, TriggerFinger is all over the CNN .50 rifle story. Just head over there and start scrolling. Read this for background from his site. Here's a quote from TriggerFinger to give you a taste for how a CNN reporter broke multiple laws to make a gun-scare story:

So, CNN sends a reporter to conduct an out-of-state purchase from a private seller in order to obtain a .50 caliber rifle for their story. (I wonder if, maybe, they tried to obtain one from the manufacturer and Barrett refused?) To see their video clip, you'll have to look on the right of this search results page. Suffice it to say, after they get the rifle, they shoot at an airplane door and proceed to demonstrate that just about any rifle is powerful enough to put a hole in an airplane's thin aluminum skin.
