CNN 50 Caliber Rifle Update
Regarding CNN’s potential felony (which, in my opinion, is a matter of proving intent to get around the law and that was implied in the story), a reader emailed a scan of a letter from his congress person. The letter reads:
I appreciate your taking the time to contact me regarding CNN’s report on .50 caliber rifles.
In an effort to be of assistance to you, I have contacted Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on your behalf. I am hopeful that my actions will prove beneficial to you. I will promptly let you know when I receive a response. In the meantime, please be assured of my interest.
Good. I realize that proving intent to break the law as specified by the particular law violated will be impossible to prove. However, I am hopeful that someone in the press will pick up on this and give CNN another black eye.
