I heard ABC management and the others on that show really dislike his commentary--but they have to acknowledge that his segments bring in some of the most postive e-mails, letters, and faxes to the show.

Translation: they hate his politics but he is good for ratings.

I spoke to in New Jersey scoffed at measures like the Brady law. They said they'll have no trouble getting guns if they want them.

The Brady law is just something to make liberals feel good about themselves. That it has either no effect or a negative effect on crime is completely meaningless to them. .....Feeling good is all that matters.

Clark wary of concealed guns

11:21 PM 1/19/04
Scott Milfred State government reporter

Though he owns a lot of guns, loves to hunt and spent 38 years in the military, Democratic presidential candidate Wesley Clark is generally opposed to letting citizens carry concealed handguns.

"I don't feel right about concealed weapons," Clark told the Wisconsin State Journal during a brief telephone call from New Hampshire on Friday, where he was campaigning for that state's Jan. 27 primary.

"It's OK if you're a detective on the police force," Clark continued. "But I don't see a requirement for ordinary citizens to carry concealed weapons."

This article contains the positions on several of the RAT canidates on CCW. Print it out and share it with your local shooting range and fellow gun owners!

The gun banners are not concerned about reducing crime. Their agenda is to disarm America so that they can take over.

Whether or not ABC has reconsidered it's official policy, or if it is simply John Stossel's own research and opinion remains to be seen.

It's Stossel. He's got an excellent track record of looking at hot issues "fresh" and reporting on them with an uncommon amount of common sense and fairness.

I caught the end of it and missed his other lies and myths. It was refreshing to hear the truth, for a change, during that time slot.

In light of the Supreme Court's refusal to hear the California case, the 2nd amendment is in deep trouble.

I saw the article and could not believe that the MYTH of gun control was completely debunked on "Prime Time." Do you have an E-Mail address, so we can contact Stossel?

Stossel goes on to say to say that many states have passed what he refers to as "gun un-control" in the form of concealed carry laws, which have been shown to be an effective deterrent to violent crime. Some women say they're comforted by the new law, according to the report.

This very true but one fact must be remembered and that is gun ownership can only affect the portion of crime against innocent citizens
Biggest majority of Gun related murders that Sarah Brady ET AL are always citing are themselves criminals
Last figures I saw show that over 60% of murder VICTIMS are themselaves CRIMINALS

This should be pointed out whenever the gun grabbers are mouthing off

In addition MOST of these criminal murders are DRUG related . Another wonderful effect of the STUPID WOD

John Stossel is the only person at ABCNNBCBS that I will actively schedule for and change the channel to watch. I'm amazed that he's still in the lamestream media, especially after reading Bernard Goldberg's "Arrogance".

John Stossel just has to be a short-timer at ABC. There is no way these guys are going to let someone like Stossel keep telling the truth. I'm betting he's at Fox News within 2 years.

Stossel was excellent last night, and not just in the gun segment. Bumping ...

And he made Sharpton look like an idiot not once, but twice.

Of course, that's not hard to do.
