CNN and Yahoo news are all assault weapons and gun control all the time. They even rolled Gabby Giffords out to use as a prop. The push is on like I have never seen before. I will bet you that there will be another mass shooting in the next 3 to 6 months. Mark my word!!!
The main reason is not because they think they can get legislation through but because they are trying to get away from economic news.
The gun headlines keep their base happy; the lack of economic news protects Dear Leader.
