Al Gore's Current TV takes on Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot

By Chad D. Baus

According to the ever-changing, reader-edited resource that is Wikipedia.com, Current TV is an Emmy award-winning independent media company led by former U.S. Vice President [and anti-gun extremist] Al Gore, and [equally anti-gun] businessman Joel Hyatt. The U.S. cable television network went on the air in August of 2005, and a second network, operated in the United Kingdom and Ireland started its operation in March, 2007 for Sky and Virgin Media subscribers.

Recently, Buckeye Firearms Association was contacted by Evan B. Stone, Executive Director for Current TV:

I am a producer for Current TV and I produced a short documentary on "The Machine Gun Shootout" in Kentucky.

Yes we are owned by former Vice President Al Gore but the piece is straight down the middle.

I was wondering if you can review it in your web site or review it for any other media that you cover. It is a very well produced piece and I think it is pretty fair but you make the call.

We did take a look, and now you can too.

Aside from a few mistakes, such as suggesting that Kentucky's state laws are somehow more flexible than other states when it comes to Class III firearms (the Federal laws that cover automatic weapons are so stringent that states rarely, if ever, find it necessary to further enhance those regulations), the piece is decidedly well balanced. Which is more than we can say for Messrs. Gore and Hyatt.

The Machine Gun Shoot is a Semi Annual Event held in April and October. The participants are law-abiding machine gun dealers, collectors and enthusiast from all over the country.
