Its called equal reporting....which right now they are not. What we hear/read shapes our opinion.

Of course CNN cannot report every good guy with firearms story....but they don't report ANY. Shaping opinion. Plus you can't un-ring a bell. Its same the reason political attack adds are so effective. Media is directing our attention to "guns"...not to problem metro area gang violence or the mentally ill.

Then add the Diane Feinstein's and Nancy Pelosi's of the world that repeat over and over this "Guns are bad" mantra regularly. The Obama admin never let a mass shooting go to waste but they totally ignored the horrible gun violence in some of our cities. Something like 6 cities account for the majority of gun crimes- seems like that should be addressed instead of trying to keep guns from law abiding citizens- don't you think?


They rarely said anything about mental illness...which is of course the common thread in all of these cases......it was always a piece of metal responsible with the implication that if we were to rid society of firearms....we would have rainbows and unicorns.

Both parties TOTALLY ignore mental illness....which is not only responsible for the vast majority of these mass crimes..... but also the homeless problem.

Having worked with hundreds of homeless in my career a good deal of mental issues and inability to operate in our society are due to drug abuse and addiction. Both addiction and mental health need to be addressed
