Pen is Mightier Than the Sword Again

Read this headline:

“Tighten gun rules, most Virginians say in poll”

That’s a headline from The Virginian Pilot, and it suggests that those in Virginia, a state that is generally considered very pro-gun, is moving to an anti-gun stance. This is just one of the many ways that the mainstream media pursues its anti-gun bias. The rules in question are actually not that really that far from what many gun owners might consider reasonable, including one that would bar guns from bars! That makes sense.

The other point in the survey was focused on the gun show loophole, but of course on the surface we can’t say whether the loop hole was actually explained or if those who gotten surveyed understood what closing the “loophole” really means. But it is worth noticing that the survey didn’t seem to ask key questions such as outright bans, or limiting the number of purchases. In those cases, the headline likely would have read:

“Keep gun rules the say, Most Virginians say in poll”
