Fella’s;
While I was on the computer earlier today I caught the local radio station’s news, and got disgusted. A major segment of the news was devoted to gun shows, and the AD’s at them. With as much drama about the consequences as they could convey without video. Things that I strongly doubt would have made Montana news even a short time ago were obviously sensationalized. Yes, I’m sure the AD’s did occur, but the attendant fervor was all out of proportion for responsible reporting in my opinion.
Yes, it’s further evidence of the aftermath of Sandy Hook, but it’s being reported the way it is for political ends from what I can see. I regard it as barefaced evidence of the media’s overt support of the current liberal agenda to demonize firearms.
In further evidence of the demonization, yesterday I received a political flier from an outfit whose return address is:
Use Your Mandate
P.O. Box 1904
New York, NY 10156
The thrust of the flier is that: “We are sure President Obama nominated Republican Chuck Hagel with the best of intentions, but every day we learn more and more about Chuck Hage's extremist views: anti-gay, anti-women, anti-Israel, and pro-gun. Emphasis by the Use Your Mandate organization. Since when is being pro-gun a legitimate objection to being a Secretary Of Defense?
People, we’re the victims of a smear campaign. I urge every firearm owner to do whatever they can to bring this type of slander and libel to a halt. If we don’t campaign for ourselves, we’re going to be history.

Admin, I looked at the rules for activism, & then went to legal. This didn't seem to fit in either place so I put it here. If it needs to be moved, go right ahead.
