Cracked's Luke McKinney is at it again.
When we last saw him in September he was spewing quite a lot of usual bile.
Where in about every other paragraph he mocked the intelligence and sexuality of gun owners.
This is a guy who was visibly angry at a lack of bans and confiscation. A man who thought even hunting wasn't a valid reason to own guns (#5 on the preceding link) .
And here he is doing 20 questions On Obama's recent executive actions.
And in short... he's pretty correct and shows that he's fairly informed on the legal rules on purchasing and how the Executive Actions would change things.
And it's (especially by Luke's standards) very civil.
Isn't it odd that a guy who doesn't think there's any valid reasons to own guns and demanded some pretty strong gun control is so calm about Obama's actions? You'd think he'd be livid, right?
I mean this is a guy that couldn't write go two paragraphs without an insult to gun owners.
Of course the first question shows why Luke is taking this tack. All of a sudden a writer that was all about gun bans and confiscation is telling us that no one wants gun bans and confiscations. Especially the president!
And lest we forget Obama did spend months lobbying congress to pass an Assault Weapons Ban, and endorsed states that did pass assault weapons bans. Including states that did away with grandfathering and meant that gun owners had to give up their guns.
Though Luke's change in attitude means a lack of sincerity either then or now.
Heck let's just track how Luke ends these articles.

Huh how about that. Why it's like he decided to back off on how much he hates guns.
Shame there's links showing he's got a bit more than a "bias".
