Good news from the DOJ

[j4jenk]

Let's see how the MSM deals with facts rather than hysterics:

Media's Anti-Gun Narrative Destroyed By Justice Dept. Report

 

[RedSox]

They will not deal with it.
It will not be reported except buried deep or not at all.
Most likely it will be misrepresented to prove their version.

 

[KG1]

They'll just keep repeating this 90% want gun control bs narrative.

90%90%

WOW! how did that get past the DOJ editors? Holder will roll heads.

90%90%

Yep. Cause this totally contradicts the bs that they have been spewing.

The media will not even go near this sort of non-emotional presentation of fact. It seems local TV and Network national news only want to stir-up gun control fervor whenever possible. Unfortunately, I doubt this will even get much traction on Fox News Channel nowadays........

If there is one thing the media could care less about, it's the facts. That would require some objectivity on their part, and objectivity is not in keeping with their present style of deceptive agendas.

Great story though! Thanks for posting.

Much of the information confirms what many of us have been stating here. I did notice that in the latest data (2004) the info obtained when they questioned inmates that admitted having /using a firearm was quite interesting. Forty percent (40%) stated they obtained it illegally (stole, from drug dealer, black market etc), and 37.4% got the gun from friends or family. So 77.4 did not go through normal purchase methods and only .8% bought at a gun show!

 

[Mudsock]

EXACTLY! It's the Government's own data. The Executive Branch must not be getting (or reading, or worse, ignoring). Too bad we as citizens cannot have our own "Rose Garden" Press Conference to voice our displeasures, and make sad faces. :-(

This is a "Most Excellent" document !

 

[Dirtdart504]

The gun grabbers will never let facts get in the way. Their campaign is based totally on emotion. They will "dance in the blood of children" any chance they get.

90%90%

Actually, the best they could get now was 55% in Virginia. However, they do claim that it is representative of whole country.

What! They MSM isn't reporting facts? What about the 90% stuff? I just don't know what to think anymore.

It's okay, man. We don't have to think. The government can think for us. Let them worry about the MSM. They have committees and studies and stuff, and if the MSM is saying things that aren't true then .gov will deal with them. All we need to worry about is American Idol.

I think it's very easy to become complacent. These numbers are a great thing but please note that the largest drop occurred between 1993 and 2000. My expectation is that the MSM will pick this up as a huge indication of the success of the Brady bill and will highlight new anti-gun legislation that could prevent the climb that occurred from 2000-2005. Or maybe they'll write off that climb to one of the old go-tos like gang violence where those innocent kids are forced by other innocent kids to behave like mercenaries....but I digress.

The short of it is this: If you think any report regarding gun violence put out by the govt during this administration is favorable to gun owners: you're dreaming.

Statistical Analysis is an exceptional tool for wrangling the uninformed because it can be as complex as the author wants and data can be manipulated with ease to create information that's is misleading or inspires inference of falsities.

This report will not come out in our favor.
