SHOT Show in the MSM
« on: January 23, 2015, 04:04:59 PM »
I thought this was a good sign: a Fox News article on the SHOT show. I don't know that I've ever seen an article on SHOT in the MSM that wasn't a political opinion on evil guns. This one seemed to just be general "who, what, where" reporting on what's at SHOT, similar in style to what you might read about CES products. Very positive in my opinion.

The comments section  :facepalm:
I couldn't find a single post where someone sounded like they knew what they were talking about- It was lije C.O.D. gamers arguing with Counterstrike gamers about ballistics and best gun choices.

Yeah, that's pretty par for the course on the Fox site - everybody is a firearms expert. Still better than the comments section of any gun article at MSNBC.  :laugh:

That makes me wonder if someone has or can make a side by side AK.
