Minnesota Public Radio Calls for “Common Ground”

We’d like to ask the folks at Minnesota Public Radio if they really think about what they are saying sometimes. The radio station offered a debate on gun ownership, but it was biased just from the tone of words. Here is what they had to say:

“Last month, the Supreme Court ruled against the city of Chicago’s longtime ban on handgun ownership. Advocates on both sides of the gun-control debate are using this decision to reevaluate the way guns are regulated in cities across the country.”

We do question the words “gun-control debate,” as this implies that everyone believes in some form of “gun-control.” While we do think there are reasonable limits of what someone can own – fully automatic firearms – we really don’t think of this as “control.” We notice that liberals tend to use the word “control” a lot when they don’t like the issue.
