One quick way to discern a GunLoon is the fact they actually know very little about firearms.

Case in point: our very own Muay Thai expert, Sebastian:

“SKSs are actually quite commonly used for target shooting and hunting.”

Nope. A real hunter or target shooter would never consider an SKS for either task. An SKS simply hasn’t the accuracy. A person who is using an SKS to hunt or target shoot is using the wrong tool for the job. It is akin to using a wrench to hammer a nail; it can be done but the results are likely going to be poor.

Our favorite Muay Thai expert gets more pathetic.

If that is possible.

GunLoon Jay, in comments:

News reports now say that the shooter used an “SKS” rifle. The SKS rifle was not banned by the federal AWB and most if not all of the state & city bans.

Anyone want to predict if we will see the bogus claim by deceitful gun control advocates that this shooting is connected to “expiration of the AWB”?

Unfortunately, for Jay, the rifle that was used in the Omaha Mall shootings was an AK-47. And it was a rifle that would have been banned had not the GOP alowed the AWB to expire in deference to a terrorist organization’s, NRA, demands.

Will the GunLoons admit they were wrong? Nope. Read the comments at BeggarsCanBe Choosers. One can read gunloonery at it’s most silly and dishonest.

At least Sebastian didn’t mention his Muay Thai expertise, so that’s a positive.

Update: For the record, an SKS should have been part of the AWB. It really has no use for hunting; to make an SKS even marginally acceptable for hunting, you’d have to spend a boatload of money. Even then, you’d have a low-end hunting firearm.
