Jackie Kuhls: Moron Or Liar?

FATWHITEMAN
Verbatim Post

I've heard the anti-freedom, anti-American and anti-gun crowd spit up their nonsense before. These idiots are scattered around the country in small numbers but, hands down, the biggest concentration of them has to be in New York. From the world's biggest hypocrite, Mayor Bloomberg to the dumb-as-a-box-of-rocks Carolyn McCarthy and her infamous shoulder thing that goes up speech, I think there may be more liberal nuts in New York than anywhere else in the country. Anti-gun blogger MikeB introduced me to another yesterday, and of course she is from New York.

Listen to her drivel ( At Seriously...) and you have to realize that she is at best, an idiot and at worse a bald faced liar. She can't complete a single thought without lying or contradicting herself.

Rather from a low IQ or from deliberate deception, everything this woman says is blatantly wrong.

"An assault weapon is a gun that is designed to spray-fire from the hip."

Wrong, an assault rifle is a RIFLE. It is select-fire meaning that it can be fully automatic and it fires a rifle-length or abbreviated rifle cartridge. While you might make the argument that a submachine gun is designed to be fired from the hip (and I stress might) they will fire pistol sized cartridges and may or may not be select fire. They also are not assault rifles. An assault rifle has sights and is designed to be fired as a rifle—not "spray fired from the hip".

"They were created to be used in trench warfare when soldiers found that regular long rifles did not suit them in the trenches."

Jackie had better read a history book. Trench warfare was last used at any length during the great war. While the "trench broom" was conceived in the trenches, the Tommy Gun was never put into production until well after World War I. The Tommy Gun, of Thompson Submachine gun is also not an assault rifle. The assault rifle, as it is defined, did not see combat until the end of World War II, a generation later. The Soviets and the U.S. did not field assault rifles as standard issue until the early 1950's.

"They were used for decades primarily in war."

She may have at least come close to getting something right.

"About 30 years ago or so, the gun industry in an effort to address declining gun sales modified a weapon for civilian use and began marketing assault weapons heavily towards civilians."

See, she admits what we have said all along: semi-auto only rifles are not assault rifles. They are "modified" for civilian use.

"The danger of an assault weapon is that bullets fired from an assault weapon can go through doors; they generally can pierce many of the bullet proof vests that law enforcement wears so they pose a particular threat to law enforcement."

True, an assault rifle bullet generally can penetrate a bullet proof vest as the majority worn by law enforcement officers. So can any rifle round fired from just about any modern rifle as well as a knife. Protective vests are made to stop a lot of handgun bullets. They are not designed to stop a rifle round. No one but anti-gunners pretend that they are otherwise.

"In fact we know from some data that 1 in 5 law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty is killed with an assault weapon."

Bullshit, nothing else can describe that utter fabrication. 1 in 5 police officers killed in the line of duty are not even killed with any rifle. In fact, assault rifles comprise less than 1% of all gun crimes against everyone. More police officers are killed in traffic accidents every year than by rifles, assault or otherwise.

"The United States had an assault weapons ban for 10 years that expired in 2004. The ban that was in effect was littered with loopholes because this chart shows guns that were originally banned on the left column then the gun industry made a series of modifications that complied with the law. They ended up creating copycat weapons that were not even in the spirit of the law but complied with the letter of the law"

How dare the gun manufacturers comply with the law! What did she want them to do, not comply with the law? And they did comply with the "spirit" of the law as well. The law was designed as a feel good law. It didn't really ban anything but instead banned cosmetics that "looked scary" such as flash surpressors, bayonet mounts and of course those "shoulder things that go up". In the chart she shows, half of the firearms are not even assault rifles and the other half may or may not be. I will grant the ban one success though. During the 10 years that the ban was in affect, there was not one recorded drive-by bayonetting in the U.S. Notice the use of the word "loophole" to describe something that is not illegal but they want it to be in spite of their own law that they crafted.

Finally she closes by ranting about assault weapons "being attractive to the Columbine shooters and Beltway sniper", of course completely ignoring the fact that none of those criminals used an actual assault weapon or even one that would be covered under her glorious assault weapons ban.

So there you have it, 2 and 1/2 minutes of YouTube garbage and the only true thing she manages to come up with is that assault weapons are used in war. We already knew that. Very few actual assault weapons reside in civilian hands in the U.S., criminal or legally. I guess we sold them all to Mexican or British crime gangs.

This lady obviously suffers from severe hoplophobia. I hope she seeks help. One thing she has in common with nearly all anti-gunners, and where she and her ilk differ from MikeB, is that the antis do not want comments. Seems like once they spit out their lies and filth they don't want anyone with facts and rational thought coming around to correct them. I'm just glad these people exist in small numbers. I also would like to wish our brothers and sisters at Long Island Firearms the best of luck in their struggle behind the liberal curtain.
