San Diego Tribune Doesn’t Hide Anti-Gun Frustration

In reporting on the open carry “ban,” writer Michael Gardner of The San Diego Union-Tribune noted, “‘Open Carry’ ban falls short in a surprise.” Was this really a surprise? The legislation had already failed to pass before, and many saw this as a last ditch effort.

But Gardner doesn’t stop with a biased headline; he offers this biased intro as well:

“Time ran out for legislation to ban the public display of unloaded handguns, a stunning development it he Assembly as the midnight deadline for passing most bills arrived before a vote could be taken Tuesday.”

That is wording we’d expect to read in an editorial, not a news feature.
