Basically a "why people like owning AR-15s" article.

http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/21/politics/gun-owners-second-amendment-rights/index.html

Shows a bit of the "I don't need this so it's okay to be banned" but also shows that there are millions of Americans who are in fear for their rights after the recent tragedy.

I think it's interesting that even CNN is allowing some pro-gun rhetoric.

What's just as amazing is that no one's replying to this thread. Apparently it doesn't fit into certain oversimple, ready-made villain notions of the media.

Too many postings, some will drop through the cracks

I've been all over THR for last couple days, to the piont my wife is giving me ugly looks and comments about getting my ass off the couch. I just saw this thread.

edit to add: I'm ok with most of these articles ...until I start reading the comments. But you know, we can't go chopping at the 1st amendment.

Don't be fooled.... They're just throwing a bone to the crowd.

Having watched about as much CNN as I could stand, I didn't even bother to click the links. I'll bet without checking that they have a high ratio of anti gun to pro gun articles. When CNN decides to actually do some investigative reporting on "all" major issues. I will watch them again.

definately not the same CNN that we all know, most likely done so they can make the wild claim that they are fair and give both points of view

^ Precisely. Not at all an expert, but was a media/journalism major. This is common tactic used here by CNN where they are providing "ammo" for their supporters to use as defense against folks who claim the media is "anti-2nd amendment."

^, ^^ Agreed.

And that headline, "Why would someone own a military-style rifle?"
...that very question is what a typical ignorant and clueless anti-gunner would ask.

It should read "Many good reasons to own a military-style rifle."
