This picture is significant. Do your homework and find out why!
It’s ironic, that on the day the POTUS will likely misrepresent the issue of firearms and the Second Amendment in his final “State of the Union” address to the Congress and the American people, so then does the PROJO plaster its front page with skeet shooters and misinformation on mass shootings in our country. Now arguing A-2 is tough enough, as most folks don’t really understand what it actually means, (hence the skeet shooter pic). Nevertheless, the Journal does its readers a great disservice when they print such one-sided and inaccurate stories.
For starters, the mass shootings Americans have in their minds are not the ones Ms. Tempera is clearly using to force a particular agenda on an otherwise unsuspecting reader. It’s almost as if she made sure to interview a club and its members who we’re primarily (if not exclusively) “sport shooters”. Tempera’s “facts” frame the article, initially painting a broad, almost propagandizing picture which includes gang shooting statistics and other estimates of (paid) data collection contractors who dramatically inflate their research “findings” by counting everything from domestic violence confrontations to instances in which there is no one actually killed. The intent is pathetically obvious.
Look, I’m certainly not minimizing a single death by firearms or any violent act or means. However, in the age of modern media, facts and truth are often casualties of the stated agenda. And in the case of a Constitutional right which has nothing to do with what the Progressive Left (and the media) would have you believe it does, it’s imperative that the American people do their homework, and move beyond the scripted rhetoric of an ideological president and one of the most divisive administrations in American political history.
(Oh, and if the PROJO should like that I debate Ms. Tempera, or anyone else who feels they’re up to it on the matter of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, my contact information is attached below).
