First the link and the tilted title against gun ownership (appeals to emotion):
http://www.seattletimes.com/opinion/the-awesome-life-shattering-power-of-guns/
I've got so used to reading junk like this, parading as journalism, that my blood pressure only goes up half as much as it used to. However, the silver lining here is when you start reading the comments. You DO read the comments, right? In fact I'm wondering if we will see a decline in left-leaning news organizations actually allowing comments, since it gives ordinary rational-thinking people the ability to directly rebut the fact-avoiding pulp they keep feeding us. Several pro-gun folks posting in the comments had the absolute audacity to post FACTS and crime-statistics showing legal gun ownership as GOOD and contrary to what the leftist media outlets tell us all the time. Like I keep telling some of the gun-ban folks I meet in the real world, gun and ammo sales are at record highs (thanks to Obama) while overall crime stats have trended downward for decades.
Enjoy!
