The certainties we can expect are life, death, weather patterns, Michael Moore eating 37 times per day, and the old media always exploiting a tragedy involving a firearm into a call for gun control.
To wit, two days after the Tucson tragedy, The Washington Post ran an editorial with this headline: \”Gun control: It\’s not a political impossibility.\”
Yet the Left’s gofers in the press never highlight the many times over that guns have saved lives. Like the life of Gary Wroblewski of Orlando, Fla. He’s a wheelchair-bound gentleman who used his weapon to prevent his home from being burglarized. \”He [the intruder] hit the door and I went tumbling over and just pulled the gun up and started firing,\” Wroblewski told the local paper.
That was the last breath the impending robber took. His ass was killed.
Does the old media’s reluctance to underscore incidents such as Wroblewski’s demonstrate a bias against guns? John Lott Jr. thinks so. In fact, it’s the title of the economist\’s book.
\”When was the last time you watched the national evening news and heard a story about somebody using his gun to protect himself or protect someone else?\” Lott rhetorically asked in our exclusive sit-down with him.
