Five people lose their lives in a Utah shooting and the media glances over the subject. Their main emphasis in the entire story---guns are evil! Sorry, but I don’t subscribe to the whiny ‘anti-gun’ lobby. Do some math, there are 60 million legal gun owners in the US, and this does not account for those that possess firearms illegally such as convicted felons yet handguns account for less than 2000 deaths annually.
However, there are roughly 400,000 physicians in the US yet there are 700,000 deaths annually from physician mistakes, not taking into account screw-ups by nurses, pharmacists, or paramedics. So, should we make doctors illegal? Of course not.
Nevertheless, this illustrates my point you cannot impugn all gun owners for the mistakes of negligent and criminal people. An unarmed society will no longer be a free society!
But, enough about that! The real issue here is the media’s lack of coverage of the fact that the young man who was the shooter was in fact a Muslim! He was from Bosnia and had lived through the war in Yugoslovia. There is evidence that he was also leaning toward a radical Muslim ideology in recent years.
Why does the media not report this? Simple enough, they do not want to offend the Muslim community. Well, sorry, I could care less. This was a hate crime! Moreover, had the young men been a white boy from Texas with a confederate flag t-shirt the media would be calling foul! So, how do we solve this problem?
The solution is to keep our eye on the media and tell them we have heard enough about Anna Nicole lets here some real news! Report the facts, not your flipping agenda. Of course, I’m probably fighting a losing battle people are celebrity mongering sensationalists and nothing else. Keep your eye on the “My Baby’s Mom Gate” and watch your freedom slip from your hand!
