Oshkosh Paper Late to Story, Twists Facts

Did you hear that gun sales are up and ammo is in short supply? Because Northwestern.com from Oshkosh, Wisconsin is reporting this fact like it is new news as opposed to the old news that it is actually is, and worse this piece shows just enough bias as well.

The story quotes Daniel Vice, senior attorney for the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, with this passage:

“Vice, who works for a group that works to strengthen gun laws, said the NRA spent substantial resources last year ‘trying to convince the public that President Obama would take their guns away.’”

First, has the NRA really done anything wrong? There is a legitimate concern here, and few in the mainstream media will admit that the NRA’s efforts may have convinced Obama and the liberals in power to keep their hands off our guns. But then the piece adds this passage:

“Vice said no one is arguing that guns should be taken away.”

Then how do you explain that Vice works for a group that would strengthen gun laws? Strengthen them by how exactly? Aren’t these means to “strengthen” the laws eventually going to make it harder for people to buy and sell guns? That seems like the first step to taking them away to us.
