Appleseed on FoxNews

[techres]

Well, we had more press come on down to meet us. This time in Georgia and it was Foxnews. Here is the article:

Appleseed Teaching History with Guns « Liveshots

They also did some vide of us and played that on the TV as I understand.

It would seem all sorts of press is interested now. The French have contacted us, other US media, and even Al Jazeera made contact and wanted to interview - we politely declined on that one.

Why are they interested now? Perhaps because we double every year, or maybe because we do not fit the mental mold of gun people since so many attending are new to firearms.

I dunno exactly.

But I do know that we have weathered their attentions thus far and ask anyone responding to the press on our behalf to keep it polite and professional - even if they may deserve a more "complete" thought.

Thanks to everyone who is helping make this happen, and be proud that we are growing to sizes that can no longer be ignored or pigeonholed.

Good job everyone!

Just saw on FoxNews. Good to see some good press involving EVIL GUNS. Hope it stays that way.

Did you see it on TV? We were waiting to see if it went on air today.

Yes, it was on FOX Today and of course someone (critic) implied that it had or could have subversive tendencies to the Left.

Yeah, it was on there about 5 mins before my first post.... so around 10:30.

Good stuff! One of the comments cracked me up. The commenter said something to the effect of "Fox News is trying to incite civil war!"

The irony is that Appleseed is trying to prevent one.

Yeah, I left a comment directed at her (him?). Waiting to see if it shows up...

Ditto here, Bubba. Can't wait to see them. Did you use your INGO screen name, your Appleseed screen name, or something else? (I used my screen name, since it's the same both places.)

Blessings,

I posted as Robb. Seemed like posting as 'Bubba' was not going to help my credibility in this case.

Perhaps you have a point there, good sir.

I eagerly await your post's appearance.

Saw it on TV. OK, who was the guy they interviewed wearing a dress and earrings? What a choice to interview.

Well said.

You sir, learned much much more than how to shoot when you attended an Appleseed.

Yeah, I thought the same. Saw it twice and was half way between laughing and guarding my 6. They always pick the most flamboyant of the crowd to interview.

Personally, I thought that was a great choice for an interview. With other media outlets trying to convince the rest of the country that all perticipants in the shooting sports are uniformly ignorant, racist, intolerant, extreme-Right fringe lunatics, I'm happy to see a nationally-televised interview highlighting that Appleseed in particular, and recreational shooting in general, is something that can be enjoyed by persons of any demographic regardless of political or social creed.
