Wha...bu...how...sh...they...(deep sigh)

My guess on what has happened...

- "Expert" watches TV...

- Hears the term 'Double Tap" on some movie or TV show in regards to a murder and thought it sounded more dangerous than just a normal shooting, followed by someone having a drinking game later on at the pub with 'double shots'.

- When next interviewed tries to sound like an expert, and add shock factor to the interview, so tries to use the phrase from the movie she recalls, completely misquoting it.

I can see the next expert interview now:

"Yes - the shooter used an astalavista attachment on their aimbot weapon (which can be purchased at any 7/11 store) which turns a semi automatic transmission rifle it into a fully automatic transmission assault rifle - we have to take these guns away from people!"

The more I think about it the more I feel it was just a regular anti that has managed to fool the news Co into thinking she is a firearms (sorry assault weapons) expert and managed to get on there and further push her agenda by spreading lies.

[AnotherMisfire]

Maybe she works for Leupold?

Oh f*** - I'm listening while typing and heard "clip"...

Guess with the right scope my Marlin can shoot Olympic grade!

Question to the Media: How can you claim someone to be an expert in a matter that they neither have participated in, or worse - hates?

if I wanted to talk to an expert about planes, I wouldn't talk to someone who's scared of flying and has never flown a plane in their lives... I'd talk to a pilot - with thousands of hours experience in all kinds of conditions and different planes.

If I wanted to talk to an expert about formula one cars, I wouldn't talk to a Greenie who is completely anti-oil and has never opened a bonnet in their lives and only ever rides pushbikes. I'd talk to someone who has driven the cars in question, worked in a pit stop and has breathed petrol fumes most of their lives.

What the media has done is effectively called an Amish person in as an expert on the next iPhone model that's about to be released and asked them to comment about it.

If I wanted to talk to an expert about firearms - I'd get someone who has lived and breathed them in. A firearms instructor. Someone from the military that does training in all kids of firearms. Yet the media goes to people who have never fired a shot in their lives and calls them an expert on firearms.

Is it too much to expect the media to get people on who really know what they're talking about? Sadly, the answer is 'yes'. Because once again - truth is like kryptonite for the media.

They did actually call her a forensics expert, not a firearms expert.

Must be an expert in forensic accounting.

too funny

[<<Genesis93>>]

forensic psychopathic mental disorders and illusions of knowledge....eggspurt?

When they pull out their experts, usually after a shooting, while the cases are still bouncing and spinning on the ground, before the blood has dried... its abusing the "we must do something to prevent this" psychology.... where people are (rightly) shocked at the death (either the incident itself or the way the presstitutes report it while chasing the ambulances..) AT WHICH time the people are very receptive to suggestion and emotion...

10 people have been shot dead with a 308winchester semi-auto.....
If you ask a person the next day "Should we ban all semi-auto rifles or all 308wins"
Emotional response - we must ban all semi autos, all 308 winchesters

Ask the same question in 12months time, when the logic and reasoning 'parts of the brain' are not overcome by emotional and irrational thoughts...and I have no doubt whatsoever the respondent would not answer in such haste..... example, 'The Age' poll concerning the support for gun control post Port Arthur has been well quoted as evidence of Australian's support for banning semis (90% support!)..... apart from having only 2000 odd respondent, the poll was taken less than a week after PAM when the bodies were probably still in the cafe and surrounds.... it is on the Parliament House website to 'inform' our representative and I guess to assure them their actions were supported in the community

.....In an Age poll of 2058 Australians taken on 3-5 May 1996, 90 per cent of those surveyed supported a national ban on all automatic and semi-automatic firearms, 88 per cent supported firearms registration, 73 per cent thought that gun owners should pay an annual registration fee for each gun they own, and 69 per cent thought that gun owners should be required to store their guns at an armoury or with the police.

Aaah - I see...

And tomorrow we will have an expert on the Janome sowing machine to tell us what is currently happening with the war on ISIS...

But it's OK - I keep a record of this sort of stuff to show to people to encourage more people to get away from watching main stream media reports. Probably should do up a youtube channel at some stage exposing the worst of the press.

[petemacsydney]

Yup, everyone knows that Jenome and Singer are behind the ISIS movement... It's a total conspiracy...

I've seen videos of isis reloading equipment, some of it goes up and down like a sewing machine.
There's definitely a link there.

The spelling and grammar in that reply is making my brain hurt

[Bazooker]

Our "Forensic Expert" has probably heard of this.......
