Comments: CSM Wrong Again

Today's (spit) New York Times had a very nearly identical op-ed as well.

If they're both upset about this bill, we must be doing something right.

Lying? Well, that's un-Christian and un-science.

It's no surprise on the nearly identical op-ed/"news" stories. They are both parroting a Brady Center press release (see URL).

MSM research a story? Understand an issue? Why, that takes effort!

that, and the lie that 200 guns mysteriously left Bullseye. Once again see here: Brian Borgelt

The numbers jumped around wildly during the frenzy of media coverage that followed the sniper arrests in October 2002. The rumors said 340 guns were missing, then 262, then 238, then 160 and finally 78 – a number cited by the ATF.

*grumble*

I actually got a response from my House of Reps critter (Olver if it matters) to my request he vote for(!) the "Protection of..." act.

Scumbag's response was right out of VPC literature. To paraphrase: This bill will prevent people from suing if they are REALLY injured. Bull. Sounds to me like he hasn't even bothered to read it. But our congress-critters are KNOWN for that.

*spit*

Comments close down on posts after seven days and then the comment input form disappears.

Your comments are welcome. You don't need to enter a URL and you don't need a "valid" email address, either. Note that MT Blacklist is installed to flag suspiciously spam-like strings. Unfortunately, because of the bastard spammers, the strings "google.com" and "yahoo.com" are currently banned as well. Another common bounce is any word containing the string "cialis" which means words such as socialism will be rejected. Try putting a hyphen into a word like that.
