The Washing Post wants you to send in your stories of gun violence for the Sandy Hook anniversary. It's pretty shitty for them to solicit stories of gun violence so they can use those stories to once again try to push for more gun control.
So, I think we all know what needs to be done here. There are many more stories of people using a gun to protect a loved one than there are of people being attacked with a gun. I say we inundate them with positive stories where people used a gun to protect themselves from violence.

i wonder if they'll do any stories about how much violent crime has dropped since the 90's or that even with Sandy Hook, the number of homicides involving rifles dropped in 2012?

Good idea. If anyone had their guns confiscated and returned by police, share it. Violence against our guns must never be tolerated. Speak up!

Here is Andrea Rebello killed by a Nassau County, NY police officer.
She was shot in the head after the officer responsed to a home invasion robbery. 
Not a cop bashing post just that this kid died via gun violence and by a police officers bullet. |

If someone here posts this on /r/guns on Reddit or is on 4chan, it may be possible to script something that will submit a flood of entries. My assumption is that WP is going to receive relatively few anti submissions, so even if we hit this with legitimate submissions from Arfcommers, it should take them quite a lot of time to dig through. Like I mentioned before, though Rationality Rebooted seems to have dropped off the map recently, there should be enough stories on there to hit this pretty hard.

Dear Washington Post,
A bad man with a gun (illegally acquired and possessed) tried to rob me. I shot him dead to protect my life liberty and property. The police called it a good shoot and everyone lived happily ever after. The end.

But, I mean, if someone were to just make up a completely bogus story that happens to fit the Post's agenda, do you think they would actually run down some of the particulars or just run it on blind faith? I guess I'm just wondering aloud what kind of journalistic integrity we're looking at here. I'm NOT suggesting that anyone should make up a bogus story and send it in with the objective of embarassing them should they run it. I'm just wondering that if someone were to do that, do you think they'd catch it? |

There is a "guns save lives" site with over 1000 defensive gun use stories. We could probably each pick a couple and send them.

I think thats why this would be fun... Just spam the hell out of them with horrific gun violence from the point of view of criminals during a good shoot.
There I was stealing Jermaine's car, and wouldn't you know it, Jermaine came running out with his glock 40 and shot me in the leg. As I sat there in the booking room following my hospital visit, I just thought to myself, there was no reason for me to get shot. Jermaine shouldn't have been flaunting his hoopdie where I could see it. He was just axing for it to be stoled. |
