Lloyd90 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 (edited) Seems ridiculous. Anyone who knows anything about guns will view this as a joke. Its the less educated government led people I fear for. Whos that wally that pops up and makes reference to insurgents in Iraq, this is BLATANT PROPAGANDA! By making the connection he is adding that these LEGAL rifle shooters are like terrorists. Absolutely disgusted !! BTW: Thanks for the post John. I also noticed that MOST of the guns showed in the video were .22 Cal rifles but were played up to be military weapons and the such. I actually feel outraged after watching this. Why do A*****es like the P***k in the baish jacket have to mouth off Edited May 21, 2008 by Bigthug87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 The lawyer at the end had a point clarifying the law isn't necessarily a bad idea as presumably a lot of the 1925 legislation is out dated. However the so called security expert was a complete p nis, as the other guy said the fact the public don't know about numbers of legally held guns goes to show how few the problems are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegeta Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Also truly disgusted over this That "expert" was very poorly educated on all things firearms. Typical "think of the children" attitude. Will be writing a letter tonight after work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trussman Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 A good vid but with a bit of **** thrown in. Didn't know pistols were legal in Ireland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) Link This "report" went out on national TV here last night on RTE's (state broadcaster) flagship news magazine programme "Prime Time". Please take note of the incredibly anti legally held firearm slant to the editing, and anything said by Tom Clonan, who has practically worn out the word "weapon". Legally held firearms are used legally, in various sporting ways either predator control, game/clay shoots, target shooting etc. You simply cannot be licenced to hold a "weapon" legally as "weapons" are used to hurt people :censored: One of two things are up with Tom Clonan. Either he's incredibly against "civilians" holding any type of legally held firearm, or, he was asked certain questions and the parts of hos interview were cut and edited into the reporrt to suit the negative slant. I'm not writing to RTE, it's obvious to me by letting out this manner of factually incorrect and blatantly editorally aint firearm bias that I may as well talk to the wall. I will however be writing to the Broadcasting Complaints Comission. John, have you got a link so we can watch that footage?

Dirty Harry Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 LB, Am I missing something or is the word LINK not at the top of his post? I like the bit in the vid where the reporter is holding the Steyr with a closed bolt and his finger on the trigger Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
