Liberal reporters (about ninety percent of all reporters) simply cannot conceive that guns might reduce crime and not increase the likelihood of it. Because they consider all guns inherently evil. They came to that conclusion early on in their lives without any logic or factual data affecting that conclusion as a matter of their liberal creed. Like all liberal tenets, they are utterly unable to consider that maybe these tenets are incorrect.

It sure sounds logical doesn't it? Guns are used for killing, so if we eliminate this source of killing, then less crime and death right? Wrong actually like most of the other liberal tenets. Like making people dependent on government aid will make them independent. Or being nice to criminals will make them not be criminals. The problem with liberals is that they never suspect that they can be wrong on anything. Another huge problem for them (and us) is that they never learn from their mistakes.

Even an unused or unloaded gun can prevent a crime. Guns, unlike other defenses (scissors, mace, karate, bats, fists, feet, etc.) don't need to be used to be effective.

Interesting stuff
The media loves to water stuff down. Unless it's a negative thing that happens to someone and will make them $$ on a story
