NPR On the Media

[MBane666]

The piece I worked on with NPR's On The Media is up at www.onthemedia.com. It's an excellent piece and a good resource to refer local media to.

Just got back from a week at GUNSITE filming. I finally got to do the interview with Jeff Cooper that I'd always wanted to do. Then I got to shoot his personal guns. be sure to watch for this episode!

Gun Shy
For years, gun ownership has been one of the most persistent and polarizing aspects of America's "culture war." But have the media done justice to both sides of the issue? Some journalists have admitted that mainstream media tend to stereotype hunters and gun collectors as raging lunatics. Which, in turn, has led many gun owners to believe in media conspiracies to repeal the Second Amendment. OTM's John Solomon sets out to find some common ground.
Click here to see a picture of OTM reporter John Solomon after shooting sporting clays at the Orvis Sandanona Grounds in Millbrook, New York.

A ray of hope. A very nice piece!

 

[DSRUPTV]

An excellent piece, and very refreshing to hear on NPR.

 

[nico]

That was great! Hopefully it'll help convince some antis and fence sitters to do some more research on their positions.

 

[ZeroX]

Wow, pretty nice, especially for NPR.

I haven't read from the link, but did catch it on the air today just as I pulled up to the range at Chabot for revolver practice. Great timing.

Very interesting article and amazingly two sided. My estimation of NPR has temporarily gone up a couple of notches. Actually, there are a couple of commentators and Science Friday that I enjoy from time to time, but this is the first firearms oriented piece of this quality.

Surprisingly even-handed, but of course they covered only sporting uses....
