NewsChannel5 Investigates Barret?


Recommended Posts

Just saw an advertisement where Phil Williams will be looking at a "weapon of war" made right here in Middle TN. "It can destroy an aircraft from over a mile away." will air Sunday after the super bowl. This should be interesting.

It can destroy an aircraft from over a mile away."


I love how the media will reference something from a movie as if it is true. Hollywood used a .50 Barrett in the SWAT movie a few years back. In reality, just about anything can bring down an aircraft if it damages the engine. A .303 bolt action Enfield brought down a AH-64 Apache helicopter in Iraq. Better add that hundred year old rifle to the ban list.

As a fan of the venerable .303 Brit , I find this heartening. I have always thought this was a tough little gun.

You mean some of you watch News Channel 5? Haven't wasted my time on them in years, but then I wonder why I still pay

Charter. The TV hasn't been on since the election except once to check that it still worked after the remodeling in the house.

The .303 Lee-Enfield was adopted by Great Britain in 1895.  The Lee-pattern bolt-action system was designed by an American.  Enfield gave it's name because of the pattern of rifling used.

So, it's now a 118 year-old type of rifle.  And it has a 10rd magazine, so it's an 'assault rifle' in NY!  Capable of shooting down Apache attack helicopters!  Who needs an AR-15?  Get an old SMLE!

Just going to be a waste of time with some liberal reporter saying civilians shouldn't own a fifty.

 

Probably the meat of the report.

Terrorists used airplanes to kill 3000 people. Pretty soon libs won't want 'civilians' to own airplanes. I guess we haven't had any more terrorist attacks because we've outlawed nail clippers on planes, so libs MUST think that they are on to something.

My wife and I are almost there.  We are actually tonight going to experiment with an old antenna that I have.  If it picks up the digital stations okay, we are out of dish.  We have one of those converter boxes from a couple of years ago in the closet just in case our flat panel is not ready.  I too don't watch or try to avoid the national news anymore.  I do drink the Foxnews koolaide website, and I do read some foreign media sources on the U.S., just to see a different view.

MSNBC has already vilified various NRA board members who also have firearms related businesses as "merchants of death".  Ronnie Barrett, Pete Brownell, Bob Nosler, Steve Hornady, etc.
