Since the nation is talking about guns today
I have a favor to ask of the press and people who write commentary. Stop the bad puns. You guys do this all the time. You say something like shoot straight or jump the gun. Some of them show your bias, such as CNN’s front page right now:
Gun ban decision: This time, it’s personal
Really? Action movie references? Your bigotry is showing. Or Gun Rights Showdown? I mean, come on people.

But if they didn’t do bad puns then they’d have to have that other thing, you know, uh, content.

Come on, Uncle, that’s no way to treat High Noon for the powerful gun lobby!

Just what we need, another pun-free zone.

I’d like them to use an analogy that puts the emphasis on the gun controllers losing: “Heller vs D.C.: The Hindenburg Line of Gun Control”.
