A good analysis of the 20/20 anti-gun propaganda.

Yes, it was a very good analysis.

From the short time I watched it, if I didn’t know better, I would have concluded that no crime had ever been stopped by a citizen with a legally owned gun of any type, since the invention of gunpowder by the ancient Chinese.

>>The thing that gets tens of millions of gun owners is that these people are fighting us instead of fighting crime.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

We have a winner, right there.

pretty long in the tooth analysis, but goes to my assertion that these tools know exactly what theyre doing to Citzens...

you simply cant have a whole 'news' department be so inept at information gathering...if they were simply ignorant, they would at least get a few things right...blind squirrel finds nut, story page A-1...

No sir, its plain ole evil, 'hope' [ing] to be left in their ivory towers as they are the 'haves' ...all the while the serfs are eaten [first, again hope-ing] by the commie machine...

BLOAT...

I ask the neighbors if they watch ABC/CBS/NBC. If they do, the kids can’t visit.

It’s a good analysis, but seemed very long and dragged out. Cut it in half, and bullet point where ABC was wrong; list their lie, then put the truth.

"And by the way, if you're wondering where all the studies about the effectiveness of guns used by ordinary Americans for self defense are, well, keep searching. we could not find one reliable study and the ones we found were contradictory."

I guess you didn't really look that hard, hmmm?

Gun control is a mental illness. It is immune to fact.

Since the origin of firearms, some hundreds of millions of people have been killed by firearm violence, but in any ten-second period of time in America, there is only about one successful self-defensive use of a firearm.

This is a 100,000,000:1 ratio!!

It could be her misguided opinion,...

Sawyer?

Is there any question if it's misguided?

Why would a government want to disarm its own people when the armed citizen is an ally of law enforcement and is supported by public policy and interest in more than 48 states?

WHY would one expect HONESTY or objectivity from any segment of the Mighty Media Monolith? Truth not not enhance its position.

I watched about 15 minutes of that garbage they called information. Had to turn it off after they failed to stay on topic and started down the inevitable path of anti-gun.

A major reason the college kids did so poorly was the dress they called a t-shirt they were wearing. About 2-3 sizes too large and made it damn near impossible and quite awkward to gain access to the weapon they were using. The shirt hem(?) was at least 12 inches below their weapon.

In the real world an armed citizen would know to have clear, unhindered access to their weapon.

When milli-seconds count....
