He was very clearly talking about HUNTING when he was talking about the magazine restrictions. Most states have magazine capacity limits on hunting guns. That is not really an issue. Listen more closely. He also states, in follow ups, that assault weapons are full auto, not semi-auto. That is not in this clip.
All that said, he is not the leader of the NRA. In fact he is not all that well respected. And I believe he was voted out of office. Clearly he doesn't represent many members of the NRA. And his positions, even the parsed positions were never supported by the lobbying arm of the NRA.
It should also be noted that William Ruger Sr, one of the founders of Ruger Firearms is the guy who said that civilians don't need more than 10 rounds, and he did that while he was making pistols that had 15 rounds. Again, just like here, he was talking about hunting but he was taken out of context.
I'm not saying that I defend Ruger or Jackson, because I don't. But it is amazing that people complain about the press parsing words but then when it is used to support an attack on the NRA pro-gunners who otherwise dislike the NRA are glad to support the press. Seems very hypocritical to me.
