CNN anchor Carol Costello tacked to the left on gun rights in her interview with Kansas City auto dealer Mark Muller, who is giving away vouchers for Russian-made AK-47 rifles with the purchase of a new truck.
Although Muller explained that only customers who pass a federal background check at a licensed firearms dealer will be able to get a gun, Costello arbitrarily drew the line of responsibility at owning a handgun:
"You know, some people watching this might think, you know, owning a handgun is one thing, but owning an AK-47 is something else, and maybe this is just a tad irresponsible."
As if to put icing on the proverbial cake, Costello also hit Muller by trying to pick a theological fight of sorts, wondering if Jesus would approve of carrying guns... [snip]
Costello is attempting to marginalize Muller, pointing out the ‘God and guns’ connection. The problem is not God, nor is the problem guns; it is the combination of the two which classifies Muller – at least in Costello’s judgement – as a right-wing gun nut...
[And that was meant to be the {barely} subliminal take-away message of the piece, as always. If you believe your defense resides primarily with you and not Big Brother, you're an extremist, a.k.a. threat to 'society'...]

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."Thomas Jefferson
