Okay: Glad they didn't have a gun"!

Has anyone else noticed local and national news reports routinely have victims of crime where a gun was NOT used proclaim, "I am glad they didn't have a gun"?
I've been noticing this more lately. A local news story had a fist fight over a parking spot and one of the participants proclaimed, "Glad they didn't have a gun!"
In another story, someone tried to steal a dog in a park. The person said the same thing, "Glad they didn't have a gun!"
Liberals always follow the crowd, so maybe that is what their crowd says about every incident, or, maybe, it is something they are being coached to say for the camera. Either way, it just seems news stories are trying a scare tactic to cause fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) about guns.
The media follows the talking points from the whitehut, and I suspect there has been a talking point to push the "glad they didn't have a gun" statement to try to put fear of guns out there.
Until the day they say they wished they had a gun to protect themselves when they are too far from a “Safety Zone” protection area.
Yes. I don’t know where I saw it, but I thought then: “Here it comes.”
Expect more of this.
My response would be either, “Too bad I didn’t have my gun, or they never would have gotten away,”
OR
“Good thing I had my gun. Now they won’t be able to rob or harm anyone else.”
It does sound like a disarmist propaganda push.
Just respond with
“Good thing it didn’t produce another Islamic Terrorist attack, we saw what throwing a baby shower in San Bernardino led to”
... that will drive the Left nuts

Journalists and reports are supposed to report the news, not comment on it.
Saying they are glad of anything is not reporting the news.
What else are they glad of, that they didn’t have a knife? That they didn’t have a brick to smash someone’s head in? That no one suddenly had a massive coronary?
This is obviously anti-gun bias sneaking its way in.
It’s propaganda, plain and simple.
Everyone should be flooding the stations with complaints and calling it what it is: propaganda and telling the stations as soon as we hang up with them, we are calling their advertisers.
"Are you glad they didn't have gunz?"
Sickening.

Mr. niteowl77
It seems they are there already. I’ve seen more than a dozen “news” reports just in the past few weeks. One was a local story of a break in at night at a business and someone who wasn’t even a witness proclaim it.
It’s a good thing the teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary didn’t have guns?
Reminds me of an old 1970s or early 1980s TV cop show.
Robbers take hostages inside a bank, including a cop. Cop is disarmed by the robbers.
One citizen shows the cop he still has a handgun in an ankle holster. NOW GET THIS! Cop seizes the handgun, and throws it out through the window, leaving all unarmed.
At that moment I tried not to throw a shoe through the TV.
I never saw a “privately owned handgun” used for good in any TV shows in the 1970s or 1980s.
Psyops for government mouther’s marxist-speak. Coming up (amplified) at 11:00.
I remember those types of shows. “Your gun will only make the bad guy mad! Get rid of it!”
“Psyops for government mouther’s marxist-speak.”
Talking points by the DNC no doubt.
Would it make you feel any better, little girl, if they was pushed out of windows? .-—Archie Bunker
Just like fighting islamsts will only get them madder.
Ping to an observation about how to gain public support to ban guns.
