This is an interesting article in so much as the worst of the rhetoric, name calling, and misinformation fostered upon the debate is born from the media itself. The facts have been studied to death. The governments own data (FBI Crime reports) show that all crime has been on a steady decline while civilian firearms ownership has exploded. There is no correlative data between the two. There is also no “gun violence epidemic”. This along with terms like “assault rifle”, “saturday night special”, “high capacity magazine” are made up by the media to sell air time. The just don’t exist in the real world. If you want to change the tenor of the debate, take a leadership role. Return the media to it’s rightful place of reporting news not inventing it.
