It featured an interview with a local gun dealer as well as local law enforcement and a couple of &#8220;men in the street.&#8221; They called it the best-selling rifle in America.<\/p>\n<p>What I found refreshing about this report is that it didn&#8217;t treat the AR as an &#8220;evil black rifle&#8221;. The reporter cited FBI statistics that no murder was committed in Alabama during 2010 with a rifle. It even pointed out that a number of people were killed with fists. Another thing that I really liked is that the law enforcement officers were pro-gun. One officer made the point that people were killing one another long before firearms were invented &#8211; or, as he said, with sticks and stones.<\/p>\n<p>The one anti-gun person was such a caricature that it adds a bit of levity to the story. You have to watch the short video to get what I mean.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WKRG-TV of Mobile, Alabama ran a story today about the AR-15 and, to a lesser extent, the AK-47.
