He gave a great interview and explained the popularity of the AR-15.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly enough, they never mentioned that Gene is the chairman of the CalGuns Foundation which is probably just as well. They only identified him as an &#8220;Internet entrepreneur&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>One of the better quotes from the interview:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>&nbsp;&#8220;Look, the right to firearms, the civil right to firearms, is dangerous<br \/>\nand that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s a right. This isn&#8217;t something that&#8217;s free or easy.<br \/>\nThere will always be people who disagree with it.&#8221; he added.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And another great quote:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>&#8220;The AR-15 is the kind of mainline rifle these days. It&#8217;s the most<br \/>\npopular selling firearm. It&#8217;s kind of like talking about a Chevrolet,&#8221;<br \/>\nHoffman said.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Gene is a great spokesman on this issue. He is a good public speaker and comes across really well on TV. He looks like the guy next door which is exactly the image that we need to get out there. <\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As SayUncle said, &#8220;Hey, I know that guy.&#8221; Gene Hoffman was interviewed by CBS correspondent Ben Tracy yesterday on&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[168,2062,3458],"class_list":["post-2750","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-ar-15","tag-cbs-news","tag-gene-hoffman"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2750"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2750\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8632,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2750\/revisions\/8632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
