#1 Oh Gawd, Kerry is such a pompous jackass...

On the same page there is some eco-propoganda.
Yes that is one aspect, but also, though not a hunter myself, my uncle who was a hunter, taught me the joys of roast venison...
Thanks Uncle Jim.

He threw back the big fish but kept the little ones?
Does that say something about him being a bully, picking on little fish, but respecting the big ones?
Huh?

Where's that save a hamster spirit?

I couldn't read any more. I was about to lose my lunch...

#2 Geez, I don't even hunt or fish, and I know this clown's blowing smoke out his ass.

What must actual sportsmen who read this drivel think?

#3 If Kerry actually brought a working Chinese AK-47 back, he's violating the law. Military issue AK's are classified as machine guns, since they can discharge the whole magazine with one pull of the trigger.

#4 I think there was a Col that received a court marshal for trying to smuggle a trophy AK-47, taken in Grenada, back into the US.

Don't know why Kerry thought the readers of Outdoor Life would be interested in anything other than sport rifles. This reminds me of the famous comparison between Gore and Bush with respect to whether they liked to watch baseball in domed stadiums. Bush said he like to watch baseball outdoors. Gore answered with an extended summation of the history of domed stadiums - and never stated a preference. I don't know whether the Q&A was actual or a fictitious but accurate illustration of the difference between teh two men.

#5 Not all AK's fire as machine guns do, with one pull of the trigger. Most of them are semi-automatics. The M-16 can fire semi-auto or full auto depending on where a selector switch is positioned. The same goes for the AK. Not all M-16's have the selector switch and not all AK's do either. Early on in Viet Nam the souvenier rule was still in effect. A soldier could bring back even an AK 47. In '68 there were a lot of SKS's used by the Viet Cong. These were only semi-auto.

#6 the criteria for assault weapons as my (voted-against) Senator Feinstein proposed it could be boiled down to "scary guns" - semi-auto AK's make Dianne wet herself, so they qualify
