JKSNIPER Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Obviously anti-gun show on tv (20/20) tonight. They could not possibly have stacked the so called "experiment" any better to ensure failure. They claim to have sought the NRA's comments but reported that the NRA had "No comment" I find that hard to believe. Very upsetting that people who claim to be reporters of the news manipulate it to produce the results they want. Also claims made of police undergoing "months" of firearms training. If you added up all the days in an officers (average LEO) entire career spent on the range over the span of a 30 year career it STILL would probably not qualify to call it "Months of training" and would probably fall somewhere between 1-2 months of training. Very upsetting that LEOs participated in this propaganda. Burns me up. Ok......I'm going to my happy place now.... JK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Ho Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 What's 20/20? Yes, I know what 20/20 is, but I don't what it or any of those shows. If nobody watches, they will die off one by one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHARP2 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Even my not so gun friendly fiance noticed that they were always up front and center, and for some reason put in extra long shirts with mechanic gloves on. Really sad to see this called and experiment and that a law enforcement agency participated. I would have rather them just say, we wish people wouldnt carry, and have left it at that.

HI5-O Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 That episode sucked It was an 'experiment' programmed to fail. The 'good guys' were not given adequate time to draw from a holster concealed by an extra long shirt and using gloves; The 'good guys' were ambushed by a second shooter; The 'bad guy' was already conditioned in the use of 'sims' and protected from hits (much lower anxiety level & no pain penalty); The 'bad guy' only had to look for the non-moving target trying to lift up their shirt; I wish the department I work for will give us months and months of firearms training Anti-gun media hate them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atbarr Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Contact ABC, let them know they have lost you as a viewer. The whole show was B.S.! A.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbbean Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I don't know what y'all are talking about. I can't tell you how many times I've had an unfamiliar gun, a shirt long enough to be a dress, gloves and a helmet and had to defend myself with squib rounds against a expert marksman in a classroom situation. Oh yeah, I store my guns loaded in the kid's toy chest, too. Who doesn't? Why, what could be more objective? </sarcasm> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasmap Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Well I saw it and I was sickened by it. It was dispicable reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingchef Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 It was as biased as I expected the show to be. I was not surprised. As much as I am in favor of the 2nd amendment, I do not favor un-trained, un-practiced, lower IQ individuals carrying. Go hang out at a local public gun range or store and you will see what I mean.

redintex Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 That show ticked me off to no end. We all know that the media has a strong liberal slant, but this was absolutely ridiculous!!! This was absolutely a setup from the beginning, as many of y'all have already said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
