Okay, I know that we have all seen the media trying to relate the escalating violence in Mexico to the sunset of “assault weapons ban”. Most of what I’ve seen has been incredibly biased, but it has been their regular rhetoric of describing box-fed semi-autos as assault weapons. This morning I saw something different.
From Bill Plante this morning on the Early Show:
“… military grade arms, including grenades and machine guns are easily purchased in the U.S.”
I’m a pretty even-keeled person, but this really angers me. This passes the point of bad journalism and misrepresentation of the truth and crosses into outright propaganda and lies. If it’s so easy to get grenades and machine guns, I want to see an expose on that; in fact I suggested that very idea to the CBS.
