Bias in the media
Two accounts of the same study:
About one of every seven guns linked to American crimes or considered suspicious from 1996 through 2000 can be traced back to the same 120 gun stores, a gun safety group said Monday, urging the government to set up a watch list of irresponsible or corrupt gun dealers.
WATE:
An antigun group Monday said five Tennessee gun stores are among 120 nationwide on a targeted list.
Emphasis added.
Each leaves a rather different impression, don’t you think?

Uncle:
You’ve been blogging about guns at a disproportionately high rate lately, even for you. 🙂

Particularly today. The only stories that have interested me were gun stories. Of course, the ohio thing was pretty important I thought.
And the showdown over the Assault Weapons Ban is fixing to gear up. I think my side will win but it is not absolutely ensured.

300 posts on guns? Yowza. I’ve got about 30 or so, and I thought that was a lot.
