I hope I'm posting this in the correct area, this isn't meant to be a political rant.
I'm curious if anyone here reads The Guardian online. It is a baffling news organization to me. I read their coverage of the NSA spying program quite a bit as its usually very thorough. They also have an entire section devoted to gun control in the United States, which is odd in itself considering they are a British journalism organization. My issue with them as far as it relates to gun control is this: how can they be so dogged in their criticism of the US's NSA program yet totally support efforts to ban guns as much as possible in the US? Do they not understand that they are condemning the persecution of one of our most basic rights (the 4th amendment) while at the same time completely supporting the demolition of another (the 2nd amendment). The comments section is usually very interesting and lively as well - many Americans participating in the debates on both issues; most hate the NSA but love gun control, I'm talking about the Americans....the British commentators just seem to dislike us in general. Do they just not get it?
Just my thoughts. It's difficult for me to reconcile.
