Every 18 minutes, someone in America dies from gun violence
Gee, and Hillary said that a child died every second or so. Who is right? Every 18 minutes... that's 80 per day... 29 200 per year! That means that in a little over 28 years, ALL Americans would be dead! Someone check my math. |

remember, the news is a business like any other and they make more money by riling people up and freaking them out. My advice is don't watch it and don't buy the products of the companies that advertise during the broadcast. |

Focus on the tools of the criminals, not the criminals themselves. Maybe they can do a show about the cars they drive or the shoes they wear. It's definitely propaganda, the title itself implies the weapons are bad, if it was about crime or drugs it would even mention the guns. All signs point to a ban, Obamas WH selections, TV shows, and this sick feeling I have in my gut.

Lets see if I can give the cliff notes before it is aired.
1)Pistol griped long guns make it easy to spray and pray 2)Bullets fired by guns with pistol grips can penetrate tank armor 3)Hollow points are dumb-dumb bullets and have no sporting purposes but to kill people 4)Gun owners don't do a good job of locking guns up 5)Guns need to be registered and every bullet should be accounted for 6)We should be limited to the amount of guns and ammo we have 7)Police are worried that they are over gunned |

Ten bucks says they recycle pretty much all the old and tired VPC/Brady rhetoric, including, but not limited to, "spray firing from the hip," a "hail of bullets," and "designed to efficiently kill people."

The ATF is working to keep us safe from gun violence?
They're TAX POLICE. That's what alcohol, tobacco and firearms have in common: they're all subject to federal taxes. You think Roker will ask any questions about the long and storied history of ATF abuses? |

Honestly we should all watch it. This is probably going to be a slickly produced roadmap to the talking points that will be coming out to support more restrictions of our rights and we should all be prepared to correct the sheeple who "saw on this show where Al Roker said normal handgun rounds can penetrate the armor of an M1A1 abrams" and then refute the standard rhetoric that will come from this. |
