Having one of the bastards for thirty years, you can't trust them as far as you can throw them. Having said that, Stossel is pretty straight. I doubt it will be sympathetic to lawful gun owners, but it might at least present our side
predictions:
they will cite the "gun owners are 40X more likely to be injured by their own gun" statistic.
they will present untrained civillians with difficult self defense situations and draw the conclusion that having a gun is useless because it's too tough to use effectively .
they will have "pro gun" types on the show that will be the mold for the stereotype of "gun loving hick".
they will use the term "high powered weapons" gratuitously.
they will show shots of people at gun shows holding revolvers with 10'' barrels.
conclusion: the amount of subliminal mind f***ing going on in these shows is insane.

i cant wait to see what bull-mess they are gonna dig up. i always get a kick of how tv shows portray gun owners
That's good news. Stossel is a pretty big libertarian and he usually peppers in a few jabs at totalitarianism and socialism in his reporting.
Yeck, if the 98% of the other reporters channel their progressive extremist viewpoints, I have no problem with Stossel.
The 20-20 piece tomorrow night is going to be a hit job

Still seems a little dodgy to me.
sorry to say that I call BS on that story.

Hmmm. 3 rifles + 4 shotguns + 1 handgun = 10 guns. Am I missing something?What truly sucks in this article is the appeal to emotion. When emotionality comes into play, you might as well throw rational logic and reasoning out the door.
This poor kid lost his sister to some armed maniac and he still supports banning guns on campus?! How could he not understand that if people were able to carry on campus many lives, including his sister's, could have been saved. The logic of banning something so that others won't do harm with it is intellectually retarded.
If you missed it...
I did want to let you know, that I was able to upload the 20/20 episode to http://www.bostongunrightsexaminer.com/ in the video section.
I broke it down into 4 parts, and stripped out the commercials. For those that did not have a chance to view this, you can now.

Maybe they were counting 'assault weapons' as separate items as they say there were 2?
I still don't know what they mean by assault weapon though
