The depressing truth about gun control

If anybody is interested in FReeper comments, this article, from different sources, has been posted several times:

How are you supposed to do a search when the same article is posted with different titles? I don't even bother trying the complete title because that causes too many misses. Instead I take words from inside the title, in this case depressing truth because they are more likely to botch up either end than the middle. And I still missed it.

I heard Rush talking about this yesterday and he said the article was from the WaPo. I did a search of WaPo’s site, found the article and was going to post it here. But I did a search first:

In the search I found the article from the WaPo had already been posted:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3591761/posts

Later, when I saw your thread, I did the search again and saw there were several other threads using the WaPo article. That’s when I posted to your thread. Not to point out duplicate posts but to let FReepers know there were other threads with good comments.

Your frustration with the FR search is understandable. It’s not the best.
