Shadowy Gun Control Groups Influence News Media

Transcription

1 the firing line by Alan Korwin Gunlaws.com PHOENIX, AZ --(Ammoland.com)- The lamestream media told you: Americans for Responsible Solutions, says this.. Everytown for Gun Control, says that.. Moms Demand Action for None Sense in America, says this.. Illegal Mayors Against Guns, says that.. blah, blah, blah The Uninvited Ombudsman notes, however, that: These names keep popping up in the news, but who are they exactly? Do they have memberships? Are they real or are they empty shell constructs of some power broker, unquestioned by the news media? Why do they command such high-profile positions in the media? How did they burst onto the scene so rapidly? Is the media doing its job vetting them? Should their membership lists be publicly revealed like gunpermit lists reporters periodically release or attempt to release? Why do those groups receive such credible and plausible coverage, when time-honored and longstanding constitutionally based groups in every state and nationally are routinely trashed by the same reporters and editors? Should the licenses and registrations of reporters and editors be Official Newsletter of the Cherry Creek Gun Club, Inc. - Founded in 1950 February Vol. LXV No. 2 Shadowy Gun Control Groups Influence News Media subject to official inquiries? Oh, that s right, they don t have any. Those questions unfortunately have truly ugly answers, because the named groups are little more than hastily constructed propaganda vehicles created by a small handful of insanely rich power-brokers led by former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg and allies. And everyone knows it. The media s lack of ethics shines brightly through that smokescreen. The media and the shell groups are exercising a misplaced vendetta against the fundamental human and civil right to keep and bear arms, in the false belief that by placing all gunpowder in the hands of the government and the police we will all be safer. (Some black people have less faith in that plan.) The media knows this but ignores it its headlong rush to praise the establishment and vilify and crush the very rights that protect their right to publish the filth they propagate. The level of distortion associated with this news coverage would win awards, if journalism awards were given for such categories as distortion, misinformation, lack of balance, and failure to accurately inform on subjects of critical importance to the American republic. **Calls for a U.S. Dept. of Accuracy (DOA) were unheeded at press time About GunLaws.com: Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Bloomfield Press, founded in 1988, is the largest publisher and distributor of gun-law books in the country.

4 What cartridges can I shoot on the range? Pistol Range Limitations: 1. Carbine use on the Pistol range: Only 45ACP, 45 Long, 38 Special, 40 S&W and 9mm will be allowed at this time. Absolutely no bottleneck cartridges, including rimfire cartridges, will be allowed. Absolutely no magnum rounds, including rimfire. Signs will be posted prominently with these regulations. 2. Magnum calibers, including but not limited to.357 magnum,.44 magnum,.454 casull,.480 ruger and like calibers are permitted to be fired only on position 20 or in the Tube. 3. All bottleneck cartridges specifically designed for pistol use are also limited to position 20, including but not limited to.357 Sig,.400 CorBon, 9x25 Tokarov and others. 4. The handgun caliber map below covers most of the calibers. If you are shooting a wildcat cartridge or a worked up hand-load, it is up to you to determine the damage potential. No excessively-fast or heavily-copper-coated bullets may be fired on the pistol ranges due to potential backstop damage. The terms excessively-fast and heavily-copper-coated are deliberately subjective - it is incumbent upon the member to determine the feasibility of their round on the pistol range. US-manufactured hardball ammunition is specifically allowed. FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE FOR UNTRIED ROUNDS: 1. Fire a single round on the test plate to the right of position 20. If the test round shows damage to the test plate, STOP. The round cannot be fired on the pistol ranges. 2. If and only if the test plate shows no damage, fire one round on position 20. Check to see if there is any damage. If you see damage, STOP testing; the round cannot be fired on the pistol ranges. 3. If and only IF position 20 shows no damage, then stop testing. If the round is considered magnumclass caliber, it can be fired on Position 20 or in the Tube. 4. If the round is not considered magnum-class caliber, fire a single round on Position 19. If Position 19 shows no damage, stop testing. The round may be fired on any pistol lane. 5. If in doubt, contact a Board Member.

7 Jack Orischak Is there any way to simplify guest pass procedure? Do we need full waiver? Should we consult a lawyer?

Contacts for members interested in working for reimbursement of fees are Jack Orischak or Jack Priest ONLY. Jim Bailey Miscellaneous issues 1) NO SMOKING policy at the Club will be strictly enforced; 2) shooting at targets other than paper or cardboard is not allowed, unless part of an approved program; 3) CF bottleneck cartridges and ALL Magnum rounds will be fired on Position 20 ONLY. Need subcommittee to examine program contracts for programs sponsored by the Board. Chuck Towne - will continue to assist with target turning mechanism on carriers used in Bullseye and 2700 shooting. 4. Adjourn DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS??? CCGC is a NO SMOKING facility This is a Backstop Damage Eliminator Device (BDED), also known as a Laser Pointer. You will see these commonly used during present-ations. This is one of the simplest ways to determine if you are correctly hanging your target at the height that will not cause any bullet hits in the RED backstop area, the CEILING, or the FLOOR. When you set your target at the height and distance you plan on shooting, take about 15 seconds and use your BDED, standing, sitting, on a rest, or whatever position you choose. Point the BDED at the target and then move it off the target to see where your bullets are going to go once they go through the target. Oh, yea, surprise, guess what? The targets do not stop the bullets! The backstop stops the bullets, or the ceiling, or the floor, or the mechanical hanging system. If you do not believe it, take a stroll down range sometime when it is safe and look for yourself. Remember, we are all owners of this fine facility and it takes ALL of us to be aware of the fact that one person s damage does affect all of us. 7 FINAL NOTICE:
