One of the most common and persuasive arguments against gun control is that guns offer a means with which good guys can protect themselves from bad guys.
In practice, unfortunately, the guns that good guys own to protect themselves from bad guys too often end up killing the good guys' kids or wives or the good guys themselves (either via suicide, accident, or, in some cases, because they're grabbed by the bad guys and used against the good guys).

Nah. this is just another semi-truth satire written from the leftist point of view, right? A joke, I suppose--can't be real reporting, eh?

One mistake I’ve often seen Citizen Journalists make is not publishing regularly. You have to put new stuff on your blog most every day to keep folks coming back.

Why these facts are not used by conservative politicians to squash the liberals BS arguments I have no idea except that most of them aren't conservative at all and wish for the same end to our constitution as do the liberals.
It is still done where it has always been done, in the American Rifleman, and I assume, the American Hunter, two of their publications that members get(their choice one or the other)with membership. The Armed Citizen is still going strong, but you can't expect a liberal to know that or even acknowledge it.

Excellent response, abb. You were exactly the one to ask, even more - for the American Rifleman reference - than I had known.Pinging the FReepers who raised the original question . . .
