In his
March 20 piece,
"Cowardly Congress, Ruthless NRA, and an Impotent Obama Conspire
Against Assault-Weapons Ban" National Journal’s Ron Fournier attempts to
shame 2nd Amendment-supporting Americans over Democrats killing an
assault weapons ban before it had the chance to hit the Senate floor.
Fournier groused that “
the gun lobby deserves most of the blame
for creating a political climate in which any regulation of firearms is
viewed as an attack on the constitutional right to bear arms.
This as much a financial issue to the NRA and its industry allies as it
is a constitutional one.” What climate is he talking about? The
liberal media have been behind Obama’s gun control agenda since
December, using every opportunity possible to use the tragedy to press a
gun control agenda.
What's more, while it's supposedly "ruthless" for the NRA, the nation's
oldest civil rights organization, to defend the 2nd Amendment from
encroachment, Fournier has no qualms about today's edition of the New
York Daily News, which
featured the victims of Sandy Hook in a ghoulish display of political exploitation. It’s advocacy journalism at its most craven.
