What do you think of this?

It's interesting that you don't hear stories about *prevented* tragedies. Are people even aware that these kinds of incidents are much more frequent than the tragic ones? I think the general public is ignorant about a lot of this.

Very good. And maybe the liberals here can tell us why it was necessary to identify the punk as a white male? I mean you are not suppose to identify any other race right?

Maybe you don't hear about "prevented" tradegies because they are far more rare than typical gun crime.

No, you don't hear about them because they don't fit the "if it bleeds, it leads" mold, and it doesn't help forward the liberal agenda. There is no doubt about the liberal media bias it's hardly a surprise they don't promote stories that don't support their political agenda as much as they do stories that do.

The national media doesnt cover local shootings unless they are mass. local news will cover any shooting they can.

So I dont know which liberal media would be covering up all these preventative shootings.

There are at least 20 shootings in a average town per year...I dont remember any preventative shootings last year.

I'll agree, but they do happen...and these type of action don't fit the agenda of the left.....

Seems most of the examples the NRA cited were either store owner or home owner...not exactly the so called typical CC situations.
