"Gun owners -- all gun owners -- pay a heavy price for having to defend the availability of these weapons," writes Petzal. "The American public -- and the gun-owning public; especially the gun-owning public -- would be better off without the hardcore military arms, which puts the average sportsman in a real dilemma" Petzal concludes by advocating compromise, something that Knox and other members of his regime say they will never accept.
Petzal said today "but nowhere in it did I endorse the ban, as some are claiming."
On page 26 of the June 1994 issue Of Field and Stream Petzal said:
If you are a gun owner who is looking for the middle ground, it is very hard to argue against legislation such as this. Senator Feinstein, it seems, has made every effort to prescribe "assault weapons" and protect "legitimate firearms."
For 40 years, Jim has been a spokesman and ambassador of good will for hunting. Through his tireless efforts as a teacher and lecturer on hunting and hunting skills, he has done more for the sport than any 250 of the yahoos who called for his blood.
As I see it, there are folks right here on this very board who write hunting or shooting articles better than I've ever seen in a magazine.. Art and Lawdog come to mind right off, and there's plenty more besides. Pax's CCW writings for instance. Tam's snark. Lots of good stuff.
The point is.. there's NO SHORTAGE of people who can write well, know guns, AND aren't willing to throw EBR owners to the wolves in an attempt to appeal to the grabbers.
Quisling, after Norwegian fascist politician Vidkun Quisling, is a term used to describe traitors and collaborationists. It was most commonly used for fascist political parties and military and paramilitary forces in occupied Allied countries which collaborated with Axis occupiers in World War II Europe, as well as for their members and other collaborators.
That Quisling's name should be applied to denote the whole phenomenon of collaborationism is probably due to the place of Norway on the list of countries occupied by the Third Reich. There were few Polish collaborators, other than the Volksdeutsche, and Denmark fell within a few hours. It was in Norway where local, non-German, fascist parties took a part in the conquest of the country.
In contemporary usage, "Quisling" is synonymous with "traitor", and particularly applied to politicians who appear to favour the interests of other nations or cultures over their own.
