RNS Quote of the Day: 04/20/09

Oh, THAT liberal media!

Data shows the states with the most comprehensive gun-safety laws have just one-fourth the level of gun violence as those states with the least comprehensive laws.

Ralph Fascitelli – President of Washington CeaseFire

I do wonder exactly how can a newspaper claim to be balanced, or the leftists be able spout that a paper is a “right-wing mouthpiece”, if they only let one side of a debate speak on their pages.

I also wonder exactly where Mr. Fascitelli gets his information. Anyone who pays attention knows that the above sentence is a lie. California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia, just to name a few of the states whose cities were the most recent murder capitals of America and all who have the most strict firearms laws in America.

In stark contrast to the relatively fair minded piece in the post below on the subject of the rise in firearms sales, this weekend the Seattle Times gave multiple column inches to the President of the anti-private firearms ownership group, Washington CeaseFire.

And they didn’t fact check his piece either.

Right-wing mouthpiece, indeed.
