[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Anyone who gets Ch13 out of Toledo

Posted: 9/10/2004 8:35:14 AM EDT

Steve was just interviewed by a news-chick from Ch13.

He said:

Ch 13 just spent the last 45 minutes here.
I filled the evil wall with black rifles, and 3 of them were LEO/AWB rifles. I wouldn't let them turn the camera on until they could explain to me which 3 of the 16 were "Assault Weapons" .

They thought, like most, it meant machine guns and the total ban of what was on my wall. When she asked me why the pinned non collipsable stock was legal, and the collapsable wasn't because she can't tell them apart - then I let them turn on the camera. During filming she even asked why people/police are saying the one with the bayonet lug and flash hider is more deadly.

When they left, they knew the ban covers nothing more than flashhiders, bayonet lugs, etc. and were genuinely surprised at how little they knew.

This will either be good, or they have more than enough footage to edit me into Cletus.

PS - I pulled a clean un-wrinkled t-shirt from the back

The spot should air at 5, or 6 tonight.

I wouldn't advise talking to the media any more than you have to...no matter what you say they are going to edit and spin it to get the sound bite they want...

Well, how did it turn out?
Can somebody post some video?
I can host it if needed.

"Good work" for trying to get the message out.

Unfortunately, the news media will edit everything he said and make him look like a blood thirsty savage and redneck gun wacko.

I was going to watch for it at 5:00 but forgot (watched Force 10 from Navarone). I caught Ch 13 from 6:00 til 6:40 and didn't see it. Was it on the 5:00 broadcast? If there are any links I would like to see it. It would be nice for a change to see a little truth about the AWB. Thanks

I wasn't able to record it.

I think they only aired the 5:00 spot. A few people called and told us about it. Said it wasn't too bad.
