Media bias and guns
The Washington Times ^ | February 27, 2018 | John R. Lott, Jr.

Americans might be divided on the issue of gun control, but CNN Town Hall on Wednesday night only featured questioners who supported gun control. Even worse, CNN is accused of trying to rewrite one student’s question so that it was supportive of gun control, though the network has told me that they strongly deny this. The only speaker representing the right self-defense, Dana Loesch, was continually identified as an NRA spokesman.

They have nothing against guns, as long as a non-White is using them against a White, to take what is “rightfully” his from the “evil oppressor.”

The only law enforcement official clearly supported gun control, spoke and answered questions. Apparently CNN couldn’t find Florida police to speak about how guns can stop mass public shootings. Yet, in 2013, PoliceOne, an organization 380,000 active law enforcement and 70,000 retired officers, surveyed its members and found 80 percent believe that letting legally-armed citizens, including staff and teachers, would reduce the number of casualties in mass public shootings.
Can only say so much about defensive gun use when you are hiding outside while the targets are inside a building being massacred.

Broward County was very aware that this person was mentally ill, but did nothing so they could feather theur nest with federally-funded dollars. If it isn’t criminal it should be.

I find it fascinating that they’re going after guns but doing nothing for the mentally ill. If I remember
correctly almost every one of these shooters has a known history of mental illness. And they keep popping up all over the place. Sounds remarkably similar to a false flag.

Similar to after 9/11. Make sure the citizenry are inconvenienced as hell at the airport while leaving the borders wide open. Once again, taking our rights away while doing nothing to protect General Public.

If truth be told, doing the exact opposite.

Still not as anti-gun as it was back in 1968-1988. Massive anti-gun, anti-violence from the news media was the norm back then, even overtly written into TV scripts and TV movies.
