Neal Knox - The Gun Rights War

The point is politics, not whether the AK is a good gun.

This video counters media reports of the devastating power of the AK-47 by comparing it against other common rifles -- and a shotgun.

Summary quote: "There was no grenade in that watermelon!"

The late Neal Knox of The Firearms Coalition made this with Larry Pratt of Gun Owners of America back in 1989. The production values are about what you'd expect -- VHS video was a new thing then.

Yet we still hear from the dominant media how powerful the AK-47 is and from the gun prohibitionists who tell us that this rifle is too powerful for civilian hands. Is it really? Watch the video and make up your own mind.

I don't think most of you on here understand what point he was making. The? media and certain politicians who bribe the media try to tell you that the AK 47 and other guns like it are weapons of mass destruction or something. They want it to be easier to outlaw these guns. This guy was only trying to show you an honest demonstration of the gun's power to prevent them from having their way.

Doesn't really matter since? the AK is still an assault rifle that is more effective at killing people than a hunting rifle is, but regardless most liberals probably had no idea.

He's not dissing ...
He's not dissing the AK, he's pointing out that the liberals are afraid of the "scary-looking AK47" and that an ordinary hunting rifle,(which they're cool with) is more powerful. Makes sense to me, proves anti-gun people know nothing. They just repeat the same lies someone else? told them over and over and over...

i like this guy. ...
i like this guy. hes showing people that just because the AK looks "scary" doesn't make it more powerful than guns used for hunting.? there you go, anti-gun liberals
