CNBC gets in on the gun bashing? Cruising CNBC to see the stock ticker and I find this little Gem... http://www.cnbc.com/id/30266124/ Quote:
Gun and ammunition sales have been spiking, partly due to fears President Obama will reinstate a federal ban on assault weapons, but the weapons aren't practical for home protection, a state governor said. "It’s nuts for ordinary citizens to go out and buy assault weapons," Gov. Ed Rendell, D-Pa., told CNBC. "Assault weapons are difficult to operate, they jam easily. If you want a gun to protect your home it’s the last thing you should have." (See video for more.) Rendell, who has been a vocal supporter of reinstating the ban on assault weapons, which expired in 2004, says federal and state lawmakers must stand against the gun lobby and support reinstating the ban. "These weapons have one purpose," added Rendell. "...They’re to kill and to maim, and they shouldn’t be in the hands of anyone else but the police and the military."
I don't think it gets much more stupid than this... Feast Gentlemen OT: anybody know the code to embed the video?

Re: CNBC gets in on the gun bashing? He is just a jackass. The people have spoken and the politicians are starting to fight the people. The politicians are very fearful right now and need to be coddled like a little baby.

Re: CNBC gets in on the gun bashing? Rendell is a Govenor, he doesn't have a vote on any Federal legislation. If the media didn't give him air time his opinion would not carry any more weight than yours or mine...

Well, isn't that the point of a self-defense weapon? Quote:
and they shouldn’t be in the hands of anyone else but the police and the military."
So they can "kill and maim" citizens?

That's what I"m laughing at. No good for self or home protection, on the one hand, and only capable of killing and maiming therefore LEO and Military should definitely have them. :rofl: What a dumbass!
