Via Of Arms and the Law comes this hilarious piece of disinformation from the “Gun Guys” in which they try to whip up more pants-shitting hysteria over a .50 caliber “sniper rifle.”
It’s terrifying to think what might have happened if an officer was shot with such a devastating weapon. It’s ours, and certainly every officer’s worst nightmare. A weapon designed to shoot down civilian aircraft during takeoff and landing would devastate and rip apart a person’s body if shot by one of these powerful weapons.
So the question is why are these weapons of war available on the civilian market? Secondly, why is an “ex-con fighting demons in his life” in possession of the most powerful sniper rifle available on the civilian market?
The most powerful sniper rifle you say? Designed to shoot down civilian aircraft?! OMG, everybody panic!!1
Or, umm, you could read the rest of the story the “Gun Guys” are shrieking about first…
Jessica says they told police Casey had no black powder for the muzzle loader, but police say they can’t take that chance.
Black powder? Muzzle loader?! Sounds like a freakin’ musket to me. And last I checked, there were no aircraft around when muskets were designed. Civilian or otherwise. Never mind the fact it would be rather difficult to hit a parked plane with a musket from more than 100 feet away, let alone one that’s flying.
The best part of the “Gun Guys” story has to be this:
Another law abiding gun owner? Of course the gun lobby says that no crimes are committed with .50 caliber sniper rifles.
The gun lobby is clearly lying. The Violence Policy Center lists some of the criminal uses of the .50 caliber sniper rifle. Now they have another chilling incident to add their list.
No, it’s quite clear the “Gun Guys” are the ones lying here. But this really comes as no surprise. For those unfamiliar with the group (as well as the head of their hydra, the “Freedom States Alliance“), they are but one of many false flag operations set up by the rabidly anti-gun Joyce Foundation to give the appearance of support from gun owners for gun control.
And for those keeping score at home, presidential candidate Barack Obama used to be on the board of directors of this pack of liars.
