Media issues

[sniper7]

I am watching FOX news and it is quite annoying/upsetting that they continue to report James Holmes "did not have a firearms permit, or a concealed carry permit, yet somehow was found with these weapons".

Just the way they continue to push with an undertone for more restrictions on law abiding citizens...all because one person went nuts. History is rarely learned and apparently the media doesn't look back very far.

Apparently they don't know there is no requirement and should be no requirement to own a firearm other than what the form 4473 requires when you go to purchase one.

Maybe it is time to limit media and their stupidity.

I just shut off Fox news, spokes woman kept saying that person had a automatic weapon, how does she know? She went on to say that most mass kling in America are from people with automatic weapons, really?

Unfortunatly this wouldn't be the time to correct any one about the mis-guided information on firearms that the media gives out without looking like a class A a**hole. I can't stand listening to any news outlet talk about firearms because for some reason they don't take any time to do any research before they flap the gum's trying to be an expert or atleast just sound like one to the ill informed.

The media doesn't know there ass from a hole in the ground....And if they did they would still report it wrong...

Media drives me up the friggen wall. Heidi Hemmant interviewed a father who's daughter was shot and killed and wife is in critical condition and when she asked him point blank "Is your daughter dead?" She was so cold and clinical in the way she asked him, I wanted to punch her in the mouth.

F you Heidi. The whole "the people want to know" argument for broadcasters anymore is BS. No one can know what that guy is feeling, but we also don't need to here some poor guy who is clearly in shock being asked dumb ass questions by you.
