Gun wrongs and rights
I wonder if you've gotten eh word, or still believe the misrepresentations...
At Examiner.com, Mike Stollenwerk thinks the truth is getting out:
"Something quietly happened over the last few years. America's free press started to report more accurately on gun rights issues as anti-gun rights voodoo-public policy incantations about 'assault weapons,' 'private dealers,' and 'gun show loopholes' have been outed.
It was not long ago that the media appeared to be fully complicit with the anti-gun rights lobby's propaganda machine which, for example, mischaracterized garden variety modern sporting rifles as 'assault weapons,' private individuals selling their used firearms as 'dealers,' and the right to privately sell used guns at gun shows as a 'loophole.' Some Americans believed these reports and concluded that federal gun dealers could sell machine guns at gun shows without background checks or paperwork."
