Brady Campaign Not Anti-Gun?
Isn’t the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence anti-gun? That’s really a no brainer question, but our friends at Newsbusters noted that on ABC’s Good Morning America the group tried to present itself as anything but.
Here is what Newsbusters had to say:
“According to Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts on Monday, the efforts of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence aren’t ‘anti-gun.’ The morning show co-host interviewed Colin Goddard, the group’s assistant director of legislative affairs, and promoted a new documentary on the ‘gun show loophole.’
“Colin Goddard survived the massacre at Virginia Tech and now works for the aggressively anti-Second Amendment organization. Yet, while talking to Goddard, she portrayed the group’s work as just common sense. She exclaimed, ‘Because you’re not anti-gun.’”

CNN Tracks Straw Purchases, Misses Points
Our friends at Newsbusters.org responded to CNN’s new segment on the so-called “Iron Pipeline.” Thank you to Newsbusters for pointing out that CNN’s reporters essentially crafted a very one-sided and biased piece looking at firearms sales, and in the process never point out that straw purchases are essentially felonies!
Too often the media tries to make it seem that “straw purchases” are legal, and that only when the firearm is handed to a criminal is the law broken! What the media fails to address is that criminals obtain firearms many ways, and even purchasing a “legal” gun for a criminal is in itself a crime. We’re just glad that Newsbusters is also watching the mainstream media, and calling them like they see it.
Newsbusters Takes Aim at Newsweek
Thank you to our friends at Newsbusters for calling out Newsweek‘s biased reporting on the issue of firearms in checked bags on Amtrak trains.
As Newsbusters reported, Newsweek made this an issue suggesting that the NRA’s push to allow travelers to carrying their guns (again unloaded and in checked bags only) would somehow open the door for terrorists. Of course we’d like to ask Newsweek’s Michael Isikoff when was the last time he was actually on a train?
