Editorial Presses Gun Control-Loving Journalists on Firearms Facts – Bearing Arms

Its not surprising. The leftist, gun control-loving mainstream media will do everything in their power to disarm the average Joe. The Richmond Times-Dispatch, a newspaper based out of Richmond, Virginia, recently wrote an editorial mocking this pocket of the press.

As big supporters of the Second Amendment, we have long opposed any suggestion that a license should be required to own a gun.

On reflection, maybe licensing is a good idea at least for journalists. Or at least for journalists at The Washington Post.

David Fahrenthold is an outstanding reporter who should get a Pulitzer for his coverage of Donald Trump. But he should stay away from firearms.

The editorial goes on to call out different scenarios where the media attempts to look like firearms and Second Amendment experts, when in reality, they knowabsolutelynothingabout either one.

Fahrenthold himself compared pulling the trigger of a confetti-loaded gun to that of anactualfirearm. Another Washington Post reporter wrote about how silencers are unnecessary, but uses a .22LR one of the least powerful rounds and their lack of sound as her reasoning, as if to say more powerful rounds would be just as silent.

The best incident of all? A Huffington Post reporter asked if the foam earplugs he took pictures of during the Ferguson riots were rubber bullets.

The editorial can be summed up best by this sentence:

The ignorance is embarrassing, but it does make the medias support for gun control a tad more explicable: People fear what they dont understand.

You got to give it to theRichmond Times-Dispatchfor speaking out against their colleagues. At leastsomeonein the media business sees the hypocrisy of the gun control movement, especially by journalists, who are supposed to be unbiased and report the facts, not their agenda.
