You have to prepare people with the liberal biased media so that the less informed feel that guns are terrible, evil, man killing machines.

the media has a bias to sensationalize things, its not a liberal bias. there are plenty of conservative media outlets, the only thing they all have in common is scaring people into watching more news.

i don't think the awb will gain traction, the white house has already been asking people to back off the issue.

i do wish more media outlets would challenge the 90% of guns in mexico thing, what a joke

It is since that's what sells right now.

After the crane collapse in downtown NYC a while back, all I saw on the news was crap about how cranes aren't safe, and then another one fell and they hyped it up even more.

Same thing with an urban helicopter crash like a year ago or whenever it was. One crash and oh no helicopters are so unsafe blahblahblah.

Now it's time to hype up every gun related suicide, murder, murder-suicide, killing spree, etc that happens to make it seem like this is just the most dangerous country in the world.

the new treaty that obama wants to push through has gotten the majority of the media frenzied over anything gun related

Quote :
"
DHS: How About An Apology For Gun Owners? This past week, gun owners, veterans, and many others were incensed by a report released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that identified broad categories of people as potential terror threats based on their political beliefs, including a support for the Second Amendment. "

The report, entitled "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment" was started in 2008 and completed and released recently. Its purpose was to highlight "rightwing" extremists who could become or be planning acts of violence; but the inclusion of groups as potential threats based simply on their political views has created a significant backlash.



"News" Media Trying To Wag The Dog On Gun Control: President Obama, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Attorney General Eric Holder are downplaying gun control, at least for the time being. But the so-called "news" media have begun hammering away on guns with the same intensity they did in the early 1990s, when the outcomes of the Brady bill and "assault weapons" debates were still undecided.

You have to wonder why the media think they, and not the public, know best what direction the country should take. Annual polls show that Americans' confidence in newspapers and television news has decreased to a mere 24 percent. During the last few years of President George W. Bush's administration, the media sanctimoniously and incessantly reminded us that the president's approval ratings were near the lowest in history, yet in every single year of the Bush administration, Americans' confidence in the president exceeded their confidence in the media. Even with the nation's recent economic problems, largely blamed on big banks, Americans have more confidence in banks than in the media. "


this is from a recent email from the NRA forwarded to me by my brother

In the words of CABAL from command & conquer...

"Control the media, control the mind."

Yeah, I just quoted a video game, but it's so on point.

I bet a lot of people call 9one9 when a gun crime has been committed.

All this pent-up aggression from the winter makes me so angry! I need to get out and shoot someone.


























Okay. Not really. Please do not take that post seriously.
