Interesting article from editor of CNN
HuskerXDM:
"There will be no new gun laws after the Aurora shooting for the basic reason that the American people do not want them."
I stopped caring after the first sentence because it's the only one that makes any sense. Strange how a republic works, isn't it. If the people don't want more gun laws, the representatives should respect that.

Didn't take long to see what slant the writer was taking. What a piece of propaganda. I can see why it's from CNN.

Yep. Nobody ever get's raped or murdered in their own home.
--- Quote ---And a gun in the house is not a guarantee of personal security -- it is instead a standing invitation to family tragedy.
--- End quote ---
Implying I have no control over the latter.
I think majority of Americans have more common sense than this. I know quite a few left-leaning people who consider or do own guns.
I would agree with him though that the mean-world syndrome drives people to buy guns. The effect is good but this implies that the public needs to view the world as a dangerous enough place before someone should be able to own a gun. As long as murder and rape exist at all, even if the statistics become negligible, people should be allowed to defend themselves as they see fit. Taking that away that right and watching someone get murdered is the quiet crime we commit on everyone else.

I don't know why CNN even bothers to claim they're a mainstream news organization. Last night I was at the gym and they had Piers Morgan on the TV. He was "interviewing" John Lott and it was shameful. They literally did not let him answer a single question. Every time he would get 3 or 4 word in they would interrupt him and accuse him of not answering. Of course right before that they had Bloomberg on and they spent the entire time sucking up to him.
