In the aftermath of the Las Vegas shooting massacre, the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) networks wasted little time in exploiting the tragedy to advance their anti-gun rights agenda. In just six days of (October 2 through October 8) coverage, the networks filled their evening and morning show programs with statements favoring gun control over gun rights by a ratio of roughly 5 to 1.

MRC analysts reviewed all statements that took a position on overall gun policy by anchors, reporters, guests and soundbites, beginning with the morning of October 2 through the morning of October 8, and found time spent arguing in favor of more gun control (30 minutes, 17 seconds) overwhelmed time devoted to supporting gun rights (6 minutes and 27 seconds.)

These anti-Constitutionalists wave the First Amendment in our face ONLY with regard to Freedom of the Press, pretending it is a license to LIE.

Having more regulations helped so much with drugs, drunk driving and bunches of other things that do not have constitutional backing.

Why not stop gun violence on TV and in films?

The 1st Amendment prohibits gov. interference in public discourse, no more, no less. Liberals have twisted the 1st Amendment as a ‘right to lie’.
Taqiya is a right to lie.

Liberals think their New World Order will bring peace under a single government, just like when the world is all Islam, there will be peace.
