...advocates of gun rights and opponents of gun violence demonstrated outside court Tuesday.

The journalist certainly did a nice job of artificially framing the debate. "Advocates of...rights" vs. "Opponents of...violence"

They make it come down to a question of rights vs. violence, as if the existence of the individual right to bear arms must necessarily cause violence. And, since the left views gun "rights" as, at best, unimportant, there's really no contest in their minds when those rights are compared to an overriding concern about violence.

Why weren't protesters described as "Advcates of gun rights and advocates of gun control"? Or, "Opponents of violent criminals and opponents of self defense"?

Journalists are snakes.

notice how no numbers were given. When the DBM does not give numbers you can bet the pro-conservatvie numbers outnumbered the kook left.

Probably just the DC HQ of handgun control inc.

Correct - gun rights people oppose violence. The reporter is a liar.
