Promising to air “all sides” in their ongoing series “Voices Against Violence,” Monday’s CBS Evening News featured its second installment with gun control activist Andy Parker, who used the occasion to blast the “cowards” at the National Rifle Association (NRA) for “blocking...sensible gun legislation.”

Anchor Scott Pelley first explained that the debate over “gun violence is the subject of our new series ‘Voices Against Violence.’” Adding that the network plans will be “hearing from all sides of the issue,” Pelley introduced Parker: “Tonight, the father of Alison Parker, a reporter for WDBJ, our CBS station in Roanoke, Virginia, who was murdered alongside photographer Adam Ward.”

Parker started off by reminding viewers of how he came to prominence following the horrifying murder of his daughter before transitioning to his argument that “we are at war” and facing cases of “domestic terrorism” as a country. In turn, he has decided to “take action” by lobbying for gun control.

Indeed we are. And that makes them traitors.

Hey CBS, let’s have “Sensible Press Legislation”...how about ‘prior restraint’? Too many ‘mistakes’ being made by the press - and a prior restraint change would stop that...it’s a ‘sensible change’ to the first amendment...evenn if it is a corner stone to freedom of the press.

Why attempt to destroy only one Constitutional protection CBS? What’s wrong with making the ‘first’ more sensible?

You guys at CBS, the Washington Post, and New York Times on board? Let’s do it... Sensible Press Legislation... move over North Korea - we’re joining the hellholes...

Curtis Houck - are you with us?
