ABC, CBS, NBC Slant 8 To 1 For Obama’s Gun Control Crusade
” At next week’s State of the Union Address, President Barack Obama is likely to continue his ongoing push for more gun control. It’s a push first spurred on by Obama’s gun control allies in the liberal media. In the wake of the horrific school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut on December 14, the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) networks quickly moved to exploit the tragedy to push for more gun control legislation while mostly ignoring solutions that respect gun owners’ Second Amendment rights.
CBS was the most stridently anti-gun rights network. By a whopping 22 to 1 ratio, CBS aired more stories that favored gun control (44) to those that supported gun rights (2), with 37 neutral pieces. ABC aired almost six times as many stories that favored gun control (29) to those that favored gun rights, with 25 neutral stories. NBC pushed for more gun control in 26 of their stories to just 5 that tilted in favor of gun rights for a 5 to 1 ratio, with 43 neutral segments.”

Not surprised… and ultimately this is about people control, not gun control. I’m stating the obvious, but the whole gun control movement fails to address the root causes of such violence.
You hit the nail on the head and the public is starting to realize it . It’s never been about public safety or guns per se , it’s all about CONTROL .
As a woman who’s been through abusive relationships– abuse and violence are based on power and control– I easily recognize these tactics. It’s the same crap– “Let me decide what’s best for you… let me protect you from yourself… you’ll never be better off than if you allow me to take control of this aspect of your life…”– YUCK!
Yes , power really derives from the mind and not the fist , although the fist is a necessity at least a bit in the beginning . In short order the fear takes over and the mind is what creates the prison and there is no need of a physical cage or a fist .
