I thought you wanted unbiased reporting? You'll never get it in trade papers

where was the NRA's reporter? You'll never develop an unbiased view if you
single-source your information.


It doesn't matter whether the NRA is biased or not. The stories are
either factual or they are not, and each case included a citation that
can be checked.

Here are six cases in lest than a month. None of them made national news.

Ok so you're not from Kenya. Please explain then where you are coming in
contact with all of the armed people that use their weapons to control
others that you mentioned in a previous post.


In the course of my work, and in the course of a life lived in and around
places where the people feel much as you do.
I would not want you to get the impression that I am trying to convince you
of anything, I've simply stated opinions and experience.

My original post was in reaction to some rant about how a fellow needed
everyone in his church to carry a gun so they could fend off an imminent
terrorist attack from the next pew. I allowed how that was very unlikely and
that I felt perfectly safe without a gun almost everywhere. A gun is not a
requirement to live safely. I would carry a gun in the bush of Alaska at
times, but I don't live in fear of my fellow man. If you do, or you only
feel comfortable with other people if you have the power to kill them,
that's your problem.
