Its nice to feel loved
Back in August I wrote a piece for Guns.com on a fringe gun control group, the National Gun Victims Action Council, and their call to have the Tracking Point rifle banned because it was so dangerous, and so accurate that ‘only a terrorist would buy it.’
I am not making this up, guys.
Well, other gun writers went on to write other pieces, so I am not taking credit for this, but, it seems that so many people reached out to the NGVAC to inform them as to the lunacy of their football bat logic that they felt the need to post an open letter to Guns.com, Outdoor Life, Ammoland and Lee Williams at the Herald Trib.
Again, not making this up, guys.
From their letter:
“In defending insurrection-style weapons, you, Guns.com, Outdoor Life, Lee Williams and Ammoland are actually working against your own interests. Do you really think the first sniper attack with a TrackingPoint weapon won’t force the gun laws you fear including regulation of the military weapons you defend? Defending weapons like TrackingPoint’s Smart Scope Military-Style Precision-Guided sniper rifles is practically inviting the government to take your guns–and they will—and you will have done it to yourselves.”
I really don’t have anything to say to that flawless logic.
Fellow gun writer Lee Williams, also dimed out by NGVAC, did some checking and found that their tax exempt status was revoked back in May.
‘Doh
As Lee writes, “Maybe the good folks at the National Gun Victims Action Council should focus a bit more on their bookkeeping and a bit less on their correspondence.”
