Brutha with a gun on TV again/Bayview Sniper

[1911_sfca]

It's that time again.. the annual 15 seconds of fame for our bay area's own Thug Against Guns.

On channel 5's 6-o'clock news, there was a report on someone shooting someone in the leg with a scoped high-power rifle. (We later learn this happened in the Bayview.. big surprise there.) Then they show an AR with detachable mag in a gun store (probably stock footage from SB-23 times).

Next, this gem from reporter Janet Yee:

Yee: Assault rifles -- they're hitting the streets in alarming numbers. Shawn Richards, founder of Bruthas Aginst Guns, is pretty clear where they're coming from.

Richards: All over. Different world countries. China, Phillipines, Mexico. They comin' in. And they comin' in off these tankers.

Yee: Tankers Richards can see from his Hunter's Point apartment. The projects, where doors are guarded with metal bars, windows boarded with plywood, and neighbors shoot neighbors.
[Is she TRYING to make people laugh with that comment?]
Yee: Yesterday, reportedly with a high-powered weapon.

Cheko Wells (of B.A.G.):The shooting..that happens, you know, folks with a high-powered rifle scoping down on each other, that's..that's a whole nother game. I'm like, whoah.


Then they cut to the gun-store scene of an AR with detachable 30-round mag and comment how these guns are in the hands of criminals for a couple hundred bucks in just a couple of hours.

And then this gem from Richards, the Bayview's role model for anti-gunners, in his message for kids:

Cuz at the end of the day, somebuddy's goin to jail and somebuddy's gonna be deyud, if they don' handle they bizness correctly.

Another piece of journalistic excellence from the local press. Woohoo.

So following their logic ... if we have stiffer gun laws here preventing us from buying guns ... that will stop the guns coming over the border from The Phillipines, Mexico, and China?

Woah, sign me up for a scoped AR for $200 bucks!! forget the 30rnd mag, I just want the scope and rifle for $200!!!!

The high powered rifle is probably just a .22lr KRINKER PLINKER with tasco sight.

So did anybody catch the CBS 5 news at 6 pm regarding the "sniper" shooting in Hunterspoint? Give me a break! First they mentioned high powered rifles, show some dated footage of a guy behind the counter of a gunshop pulling an AR off the wall and loading a hi-cap mag. Then they mention the "sniper" was using a scoped rifle that just so happened to be an AK-47. To top it off, they interview some uninformed 'tard from "Brothers Against Guns" stating the guns are coming in from China, Philippines & Mexico.... OK guy, and your facts are coming from where?

[Bing]

If these folks are talking about high powered rifles from the Philippines then it must be one of these guys.
