Yeah, thanks to elites-funded hysterical “agenda science” amplified by an equally hysterical (and reliably ignorant) DSM.
Doctrinaire disarmament propagandists Philp J. Cook and John Donahue (Piled Higher and Deepers each) sure use a lot of words to spook the herd on a threat that takes fewer lives than fists and feet. And the gunquacks (funny, we were just talking about them) at the equally agenda-driven AMA are delighted for another chance to posture and preen as leaders.

“In reporting on the continuing controversy, the national press routinely cites strong public support for the ban. The lead of an April 6 story in The New York Times is typical: “A group of House Republicans plans to introduce legislation on Thursday to repeal last year’s ban on assault weapons, even as national polls continue to show that a majority of Americans favor it.” Having whipped up hysteria about “assault weapons,” journalists now point to the results of their alarmist reporting as evidence that they were right all along.”
