    A quick look at the CDC shows that homicide is the 5th leading cause of death for ages 10-14. Cannon was five; it would take a while to digest the stats, but suffice to say there's a LOT more homicides of children than we all hear about. If repubs are arguing they are all national news, we can probably kiss the 2A goodbye.

    But no, the right isn't arguing that's what makes this newsworthy. This is newsworthy because it was a black guy and a white kid. Right?

    Let's be intellectually honest. Are you suggesting that the reverse of that would *NOT* be covered?
    Liberals never met a slippery slope they didn't grease.

    Of course it would.

    But in employing the dishonest and manipulating tactics of the opposition, there never will be a prevailing party. They end up being approximately the same, in the end. And that turns independents away from both sides, instead of just one.

    Wrong. What's newsworthy is the fact that it points out the blatant hypocrisy of the MSM. If this was white-on-black or even white-on-white, it would be on top of the headlines for a week or more because of the implied racism and "firearms bad" factor. It's rather suspicious that it is so ignored by the mass media.
