Media Support

NY Assemblywoman Schimel is stumping for her 'microstamping' bill.

 The bill has widespread support from law enforcement, elected officials, and the media.

 Ah,  the 'media'.  Let's take a look at some of those experts on firearms:

From a published commentary by the New Yorkers Against Gun Ownership

the average price for a new semiautomatic handgun is nearly $750

Huh?  Where is the 'average price' that much?  Maybe where they're so restricted and so many fees and taxes are added it drives prices up?
From 'award winning' Tina Dupuy:

So weapons-grade plutonium should be limited. But the ever-handy semi-auto Glock pistol with a 30-round high-capacity magazine is an absolute right?

Yes because nuclear weapons are the same as a handgun.  Do they have any idea how stupid they sound when they make that comparison?  Probably not since she continues:

A recent gun buyback drive in Los Angeles resulted in someone turning in a rocket launcher. Comforting.

No, actually it was a dummy casing used for training.  A little actual research would have shown her that, but then she couldn't go on her diatribes about 'daisy cutters' and nukes.  So when you hear about 'widespread support' for gun control, look into how much (or little as the case may be) the 'supporters' actually know about the issue.
