You literally just shared a left wing opinion article from CNN.... lol

Not that I disagree with it, but yes, CNN is incredibly left wing and has a history of reporting their opinions and not the facts. Fox is the same but opposite..

You call it a "left wing opinion article". I still say the right wing is doing it much more than the so-called left wing. Trump is a conspiracy theorist as pointed out in the article with examples.

Is it the truth or not? Did it happen or not? That is the question and the point. There is only one truth no matter how much they try to obfuscate it.

As a moderate, I laugh at both sides who claim the media, left and right, to be truthful and fair. If you don’t think CNN has had a leftist agenda, you haven’t been paying attention.

This is true but the trick is to see through the bias and use facts to get the true story. Not many people do that or realize the bias. Jay

But the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy wit- wait, nevermind.

Thank you. You beat me to it.


I for one thing we should take the traditional conservative Republican approach and just rely on thoughts and prayers. That always seems to work so well.

Oh wait,...

It’s all BS and gets us nowhere.

Then why does your side dwell on the gun instead of these societal freaks? Gets us nowhere? Where would to take us?

People, stop arguing. It's pointless. Instead, Vote. And these young kids are going to start voting really soon. Care to guess which party they are going to vote for?

I just sent this to the Republican National Committee yesterday.......

I am an Independent and have voted for many Republicans in my lifetime. Here is a message for your party. I will NEVER vote for a Republican again as long as you are slaves to the NRA and you keep letting our youth be massacred. If voting for the Democrats means being taxed to death and our country being over run with illegals SO BE IT! I have had it with you Republican merchants of death. CT Artist*, Trumbull, CT

*of course I put my real name.

As center-left person, I have to agree with this. An agenda in the opinion pages (which they publish plenty of! prefaced with Opinion: ...) is totally fine. But Chris Cillizza is their primary political reporter and editor-at-large and is virulently anti-Trump and anti-GOP to a laughable degree.

I am too pretty much but I don't like to read articles written from that perspective in a news source that claims to be neutral. Even if you're writing all facts, the tone should be neutral. If not, it should be clearly marked Opinion: ...

The politics and regulation of firearms in the United States are VERY complex. If they were not complex, the topic would not be so divisive, and we would not find it so difficult to find solutions.
