(17,502 posts)He is dishonest, makes shit up, a disgusting religious bigot (which begs the question, how is his Mormophobia any different than Glenn Beck's Islamaphobia?), and an all around asshole. IOW, is just like Bill O'Reilly, just another arrogant, self important bigot who thinks just because he had an over privileged childhood and now has a TV show, that give him the right to push his bullshit on others.
To me "MSNBC says" equals some right winger saying "Rush says". They don't do news or journalism (OK, I'll have to give Chris Hayes credit going to Ferguson) they do commentary and speculation.
Yes, they are using 20 as a cut off. They also don't put any of it in context do they? That doesn't negate anything I said does it? Do you seriously think some gang banger is going to say "was in a shoot out with a rival gang"?
So once again, I'm back to the excuse making for all the gun deaths. It's okay if it's gangs. It's okay if it's a drug dealer. But I see people here essentially saying it's okay if one kid in the family dies from gun negligence. It's okay because the numbers are decreasing.
Chicago and DC have defacto bans. IL has a licensing scheme, so they don't go to another county. Criminals don't buy guns in gun stores either. See Wright/Rossi study. Did the Charlie Hebdo go to a gun shop in Paris to get their machine guns? No, they bought them out of a car trunk at a Brussels train station. If drug dealers can get cocaine and heroin into the US, how hard is it for them go get guns? Very easy even in places like UK and Australia. In Australia, gangs just make their own sub-machine guns.
