A good analysis of the 20/20 anti-gun propaganda.

Yes, it was a very good analysis.

From the short time I watched it, if I didn’t know better, I would have concluded that no crime had ever been stopped by a citizen with a legally owned gun of any type, since the invention of gunpowder by the ancient Chinese.

ABC management gave this show to Diane Sawyer to make the Anti-gun propaganda. John Stossel already tried to make a fact based show about guns and gun laws. They spiked it, as I understand the sequence of events.

>>The thing that gets tens of millions of gun owners is that these people are fighting us instead of fighting crime.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

We have a winner, right there.

pretty long in the tooth analysis, but goes to my assertion that these tools know exactly what theyre doing to Citzens...

you simply cant have a whole 'news' department be so inept at information gathering...if they were simply ignorant, they would at least get a few things right...blind squirrel finds nut, story page A-1...

No sir, its plain ole evil, 'hope' [ing] to be left in their ivory towers as they are the 'haves' ...all the while the serfs are eaten [first, again hope-ing] by the commie machine...

BLOAT...

I ask the neighbors if they watch ABC/CBS/NBC. If they do, the kids can’t visit.

It’s a good analysis, but seemed very long and dragged out. Cut it in half, and bullet point where ABC was wrong; list their lie, then put the truth.

Agree...... as stated elsewhere ....if the gun grabbers allocated 1% of their efforts they use on and against law abiding gun owners on real criminals there would be no crime !

Polidiots have guns and or armed bodyguards......... they don’t want mere mom and pop’s to have same chance at survival against those who would hurt them and us every day......no less the threat of a terrorist going after our top elected officials than the tweaker going after Grannies purse in the parking lot. In fact I would even suggest that Grannies odds of getting mugged or worse is greater than a assassination attempt of a public figure. Be they celebrity or communist POS.

Just my opinion !

Stay safe G3 ! (Hope you and your family including the new addition is well)

"And by the way, if you're wondering where all the studies about the effectiveness of guns used by ordinary Americans for self defense are, well, keep searching. we could not find one reliable study and the ones we found were contradictory."

I guess you didn't really look that hard, hmmm?

Gun control is a mental illness. It is immune to fact.

"..you simply cant have a whole 'news' department be so inept at information gathering.."

The ONLY "news" you can MAYBE trust is "breaking", reported directly from the site as or immediately after the incident has happened, before the "news departments" have had a chance to add the liberal "spin" to it. ANY "documentary" put together by the MSM "WILL" be pure leftist propaganda.

I will no longer watch CBS, NBC, or ABC "news" of any sort, and maybe "sometimes" FOX. Their advertisers will get no traffic from ME.

The major media has reshaped itself into PRAVDA and IZVESTIA.
