at least one reporter is not biased:
Reality Check: Are calls for stricter gun laws really about guns

A Reality Check indeed.
“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." -- Thomas Jefferson

Well stated. I've said all along that cars do more damage than guns! Slowhand hit the nail on the head with his statement. It's all about the Progressive Left "Thinking" they have done good by enacting new laws, but in reality, have made things much worse for us, the Law abiding citizen! Yogi :-[

Smart man, that Thomas Jefferson!

I do wish that this would get published in a place where the masses would be likely to read and understand it along with understanding who wrote it.
This whole episode we're in reminds me of a cartoon I saw many years ago. There were two masked crooks chatting around the corner from a crowd. One's telling the other "They let me go but they're lynching my gun". The crowd around the corner had a pistol suspended from a rope as if they were executing it.
We are in an uphill battle this time. It isn't just the left starting to talk the anti-gun talk. Several, including Joe Donelly of Indiana, that were endorsed by the NRA are now rubbing shoulders with the gun grabbers. Most of the time when gun guys start the whole "the sky is falling, better hide your guns" talk I just shake my head. But this time I am deeply concerned. One thing that gives me a little hope is that the Christmas break combined with all the fiscal cliff stuff may give some of the people in congress time to cool their heads a little.
True we are in an uphill battle but I think we have allot more people thinking the way we do than ever before. At least I hope we do.
Gallup Poll: 54% of American support the NRA and the Pro-Gun Lobby.
Let's hope that's more accurate than their POTUS polls were this summer and fall.

Those phrases are called 'oxymorons'
There's a lot of them, and they are kind of fun - "military intelligence" for example!

President Kennedy once hosted a dinner at the White House of all of the Noble prize winners alive at the time. He said ""There has never been a greater concentration of intellectual power here at the White House since Thomas Jefferson dined alone."
