As a newspaper that is protected by the First Amendment, calling for restrictions in violation of the Second Amendment for a "smart, simple step" to reduce shocking gun violence causes me to suggest that the Wisconsin State Journal would be for smart, simple restrictions that can be placed on the press (TV, radio, newspaper, magazines, and so forth) and on burial facilities (including churches) to help reduce gun violence. They are:
- Names of the suspects will not be released until they are convicted, sentenced, and jailed. Why else would these people go on rampages except to get their 15 minutes of fame?
- Those perps that are killed before trial shall be required to be buried in unmarked graves, or placed in urns that are not on any form of public display
- Reporters, editors, anchors, columnists, and news show producers shall be fingerprinted, background checks performed, and be required to pay for a registration card, renewed every two years.
After all, isn't the pen mightier than the sword?
•Reporters, editors, anchors, columnists, and news show producers shall be fingerprinted, background checks performed, and be required to pay for a registration card, renewed every two yearsI like it, BUT much too logical. Gun control isn't based on logic, but rather the worship of government power. To anti-gunners (like most of the MSM) we aren't just people with a different opinion, an opinion that is BTW enshrined in the Bill of Rights, but we're blasphemers for wanting to keep power out of the hands of government - blasphemers who should be punished.
