NRA HONORS PALIN WITH ALASKA-THEMED ASSAULT RIFLE (N.Y. Daily News): The National Rifle Association Foundation will present Gov. Palin with an engraved, modified military-style assault weapon on May 14. The all-white "Alaskan Hunter" is a civilian version of an M-4 rifle carried by U.S. troops overseas. Palin, an NRA member, isn't scheduled to attend the New York banquet, reports The Christian Science Monitor. A military weapons specialist tells the Monitor the semiautomatic rifle is "sweet" but says it's not suitable for hunting -- or anything else, really. Josh Painter at RedState.com says a copy of the rifle will be auctioned off for the foundation. The gun's designer is Bob Reynolds of Templar Consulting; he said he wanted to thank her for her defense of gun ownership rights.

Awesome !!!!!!!!!!! ..



The guys comment that the rifle is unsuitable for hunting is out to lunch ......I would hunt it , Well maybe it would be a safe queen , but a workable one ...

I think its cool the NRA is doing this for Palin.

I also think that would make a hell of a bear/moose gun.

NOT SUITABLE FOR HUNTING????

I have hunted successfully with AR15's, Steyr AUG's, and H&K 91's.

Last time I was in AK, it was before Palins pick as VP, I asked several people, including Natives, and the Police, what they thought about the Governor, and NOBODY said anything bad about her.
