catnipman Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Hurry out and buy today's (10/15/03) Wall Street Journal. There's a great review of the Knob Creek event on page D14 of the "Personal Journal" section that is titled "Trigger Happy: Family Fun With Machine Guns" and written by Ed Yost who attended the event and had a blast!

Ron A Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Article was good support of our hobby. It will be interesting to see the letters the WSJ gets from the liberal public. Its rare for this type of article to appear in the WSJ as they tend to be supportive of a liberal agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earle Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Here is the link to the article online. Take a look at the reader comments, I think you'll find most of them are on our side. http://www.opinionjournal.com/la/?id=110004165 Earle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 The Journal is fairly conservative. It is the New York Times that would never give up ad space for a positive story on MG plinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter63a Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 I have to agree with Arthur on this. The WSJ has a strong libertarian current running through it. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/smile.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/cool.gif It is the New York Times which could be more accurately characterized as a liberal (read:freedom-hating) forum. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/mad.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/sad.gif All the same, it is refreshing to see some honesty at a major media outlet! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif Regards, Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full auto 45 Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 I have to agree. One of the best positive articles about firearms I've seen since a newspaper wrote the article about me buying my M1 from the local PD. Maybe we can get this guy to the Thompson Collectors show sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catnipman Posted October 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Earle, thanks for finding and posting the link. Even better than reading the comments there, post one folks! That forum probably gets more attention than this one http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/smile.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
