Is a major media outlet teaming up with the Broward County sheriff's office to lie about the effects of the Clinton Gun Ban? It happened once before, in 2003, and now it looks like it may be happening again.
There've been a lot of blogs that have covered this story, but the blog
Call me Ahab probably has the best summary of the story. The "CBS Evening News" ran a story about AK-47s that are supposedly flooding the streets of Broward County. But after taking a look at the confiscated firearms put on display by the Broward County sheriff's office, I have my doubts.
See, none of the guns they put on display can be identified as AK-47s. In fact, there are only a few semi-automatic rifles on display at all. But there are more than a dozen handguns, an over/under shotgun, and what looks like a muzzleloader!
We don't know under what circumstances these guns were seized, but we do know one thing: CBS in 2007 isn't much different than CNN in 2003.
The issue then was the Clinton Gun Ban, and CNN ran a hit piece by John Zarella where they showed fully automatic firearms and tried to claim they were semi-automatics. I made sure the nation knew about CNN's lies, and they were forced to retract the story. It's great to see these gun bloggers exposing the CBS story. Now we'll see what the response from CBS will be.
