Children and Machine Guns

Via The War on Guns...

Anna Tinsley wrote this hit piece on kids at machine guns shoots in Texas. Then it morphs into kids don't need to be around guns because they're "dangerous" piece. The problems with the piece are bountiful but I'll only point out one. The "youths" who are killed with guns are from 10 to 19 years old. The stats she uses don't differentiate under what circumstances the "youths" were shot and killed. We don't know if any were engaged in criminal activity or simply playing with daddy's machine gun. I'll also point out that 18 and 19 year olds are adults not "youths". There's a word for that.

Horseshit.

Horseshit
The same word that describes much of what you see in the mainstream media. Even here in Texas, where most of us know better. I have a feeling that most of the folks in the MSM at that level aren't from Texas anyway, which would explain a lot...

They aren't from anywhere with a basis in reality...Oz? Except I think the Tin Man would trade his ax for a gat if given the choice.
