Ok, not most of you guys, but isn't there a point when you SHOULDN'T talk to the media?
I don't care how smart and charismatic you think you are. Some moron in the media is going to get a quote or some video that is going to make the rest of us look bad and scare the bejeezus out of some soccer mom.
Like the spin on that one?
Please guys, don't demonstrate "bump firing" for Channel 11. Don't show how fast you can empty a 30 round mag in an AK. Don't welcome a reporter with a video camera to a machine-gun shoot.
Please?

How easy is it to get an AK-47?
Last Update: Apr 6, 2007 8:41 AM
(PRICHARD, Ala.) April 5 -- An AK-47 is anything but your average hunting rifle. Just how easy is it to get your hands on an one?
Family members describe 34-year old Emanuel Mose as "lucky to be alive." Emanuel is a security guard who was gunned down during a robbery at commonwealth national bank in Prichard Thursday.
Video surveillance shows two Hispanic males walking into the bank with their weapons drawn, AK-47's to be exact. Police say the men started firing shots immediately. One of the bullets struck Emanuel Mose in the leg.
Family members say he fell against a door, and knocked it open. He then barricaded himself inside the room until help arrived. It is unknown whether the weapons used to commit the robbery are registered or stolen.
A local gun shop tells NBC 15 that it doesn't take much to get your hands on powerful assault rifles such as the AK-47.
"Simply get them to fill out a background check as this one is here. It's a simple one page form."
If everything checks out, he says you're out the door with an assault rifle in no more than 10-minutes. There are some exceptions, especially if your record contains felony offenses.
The gun shop owner tells NBC 15, "Now if you have a traffic ticket or something that's not going to really hinder it."
