Just a few minutes ago I was browsing Google News to read a bit about the 8 year old boy who recently shot his dad dead. I entered into the news search engine the words "boy shot". Of course the article I was seeking popped up, but so did tons of others: "Boy shot trick or treating", "Boy shot himself with uzi at gun show", "Boy shoots dad over fast food argument"..... The trick of treater died, the gun expo child perished as well. They were such shocking and sad articles, and only the tip of the iceberg--and these had all happened in the past few weeks!!!
So out of curiosity, I wanted to see the other side--as in why the hell do people advocate gun-ownership for safety and are they really used to shoot criminals ??
So with the same search engine I then replaced the word "boy" with the words "criminal" and "robber". Of course what I got were articles about criminals shooting others with their guns, a few about police injuring a criminal, and just one or two about a common citizen shooting a robber .
Nevertheless, the evidence spoke for itself and was overwhelming. I don't believe the "liberal" media only reports negative gun articles, because let's face it: "Joe six-pack shoots criminal" is actually a very compelling story to print. So they would be there if they were the overwhelming majority... Unfortunately they are not.
