Diane Sawyer rigs mass shooting experiment on 20/20

Don't forget that when they tested the young man who was the most skilled and who got the most shots into the body of the shooter, the rigged it even further by placing a "second gunmen" right NEXT to him in the seating area, who shot at him from the side. "You're dead", they told him, even though there would never be a second shooter in such situations. Without that cheating, and even with all the other handicaps (gloves, helmet, long shirt, unfamiliar holster) that young man would still have "killed" the gunman. But that would have negated the propaganda, so of course ABC had to cheat.

Then Miss Dianne had to make the show into a total farce, by showing the brother of a VT massacre victim going to a gun show and buying guns, and then showing how he is working "tirelessly" to defeat the gun show loophole, even though the VT gunman bought his gun in a GUN STORE WITH A BACKGROUND CHECK! Unbelievable propaganda.

Anyone falling for that propaganda probably needs a bit of education in several areas prior to conducting concealed carry.

BTW, I saw that P.O.C. propaganda piece. That is one simple minded commie b***h.

Next up, take away Home Fire Extinguishers like they did in England.

How convenient it was for the shooter to know who was armed and where he was sitting so he could quickly take out the one and only threat in the room.

Consider that in a real situation, the armed person that would be taken out would any law Enforcement Officers – those would be the persons that would be armed and that would be taken out first.

That's why CCW holders are a deterrent – shooters wouldn't know if they were present or not.

Of course, if it were one of those Idiotic 'Gun-free' zones, the shooter would know this from the get go.

while waiting 10 or 20 minutes for authorities to arrive, set up a base of operations, and try to figure out how to save you without getting themselves killed

More like 90 minutes. The cops generally show up, set up a perimeter, and wait until the gunfire stops and things have been quiet for a good long time before they start to think about possibly entering the scene.

In quite a few of these recent mass-shootings, people who perhaps could have been saved instead bled to death while waiting for help from the authorities already on the scene, after the shooter was already down and dead.

Reminds me of the video on the NRA website about CNN rigging their story on assault rifles and showing fully automatic weapons instead of semis.

When Wayne called them on it, they bimbo got all defensive saying they would never do such a thing. Two days later they retracted the story.

If you haven’t seen it, check it out at the NRA website. It’s a classic.

[Still Thinking]

Next up, take away Home Fire Extinguishers like they did in England.

Are you series? What, did they think they were potential weapons? They've disarmed their masters and now they want to take away anything that might allow the ingenuity of their masters to defeat their overstepping outrages? They would actually rather allow peoples' houses to burn down than to allow them the natural right of self defense?

[Still Thinking]

That’s absolutely sickening. Criminal.

Yes, when I first read that I thought it was a parody out of “The Onion”,

But here's the link:

Extinguishers banned as a fire safety hazard

Apparently they're afraid independently minded people will fight a fire instead of calling in the government to help and put themselves in danger or something.

Sort of like defending yourself from the criminals.....

Exactly - this is also reminiscent of the old Dateline NBC scam where they were trying to demonstrate that a certain model of pickup truck had fuel tanks that were prone to rupture and explode during an accident, but when they originally staged such an accident, the truck did not cooperate and explode. So the Dateline NBC producers and 'reporter' "helped" it along by strapping a burning incendiary device to the fuel tanks, which had the desired effect. Of course they never mentioned that part during their 'reporting'...

As for the shooter knowing in advance exactly where the armed "victim" would be sitting, of course that is rigged. Did 20/20 also conclude from their phony experiment that armed air marshals aboard commercial aircraft can not possibly be effective against would-be hijackers? If not, why not? The situations would seem to have much in common with hijacking scenarios, except that presumably the hijackers would not know in advance exactly who or where the air marshal(s) would be... (although presumably the air marshal(s) would have more training than just backyard airsoft, but then the CCW holders that I know do as well)...

IMO, Diane Sawyer gets up every morning thinking that all of us ‘unwashed peasants’ are not to be trusted, and that she and only she and her cohorts have a grasp on what is happening every day in the world, and America in particular.

They all are ‘news snobs’, just because they might get some info slightly before we get it after it has passed thru her filters.

I don’t trust a word out of her mouth, and ABC is no longer a network I look at near as often as I used to.

or Diane could have read an actual emperical study:
