Firing Back: New Year’s Eve Edition

Many news outlets are urging firearms owners not to fire their weapons in the air as part of tonight’s New Year’s celebration, and this is solid reporting. However, many times this coverage seems slightly biased, as to suggest that this is a practice carried on by ALL gun owners.

Of course this isn’t even close to accurate. And our wish for 2010 is that the mainstream media treat gun owners with some respect. Most firearm enthusiasts know that these aren’t toys. The problem is that criminals, gangsta rappers and other celebrities treat guns as if they are toys all too often.

But let us hope for a peaceful New Year’s this year!
