I like your name for the Brady folks “The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership.” – yours matches their true intentions as well as the true results they would net if allowed to get what they want 200% better than the name they selected for themselves.

�CNN gets guns wrong�

When has CNN (Communist News Network) ever gotten anything about firearms right? CNN’s credibility with me is zero. If, by accident, CNN acually told the truth I STILL would’nt believe them.

Well, the VPC uses “assault weapon” in the place of “assault rifle” in all of their “reports”. It is quite irritating to see them say that infantrymen are issued “semiautomatic assault weapons” for rapid fire spraying attacks.

If news organizations are listening to these people, no wonder these stories come out.

In the broad category of LEOs assaulted, guns are only used 4% of the time.

In the narrower category of LEO deaths, traffic accidents kill more cops than guns.

In the most narrow category of LEOs feloniously killed, handguns are used more often than rifles or shotguns.
