lawman Posted February 16, 2017 at 12:25 AM Share Posted February 16, 2017 at 12:25 AM I know there is another thread with this topic, but the headline here deserves its own. Does anyone detect any bias in reporting here? https://www.aol.com/article/news/2017/02/15/senate-votes-to-let-mentally-ill-people-buy-guns/21714932/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeper13 Posted February 16, 2017 at 12:53 AM Share Posted February 16, 2017 at 12:53 AM At least some Dems came over. The bill passed 57-43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hap Posted February 16, 2017 at 01:03 AM Share Posted February 16, 2017 at 01:03 AM The article mentioned that the ACLU was opposed to Obama's regs, which is more than most of the reporting on this issue did. It didn't give a particularly nuanced discussion of the issues involved, but for a short article it's not as awful as most. Also, it does provide links to more detailed information.

Kaeghl Posted February 16, 2017 at 01:36 AM Share Posted February 16, 2017 at 01:36 AM Who knew that bunch of thieves at AOL were still around? They had a good racket there for a while, telling people that they had to go through AOL as a home page to get to the internet (for a price, charged by the minute).....like I said, thieves. Looks like they're a bunch of anti-rights liars, too. What a load of horse hockey..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chislinger Posted February 16, 2017 at 01:51 AM Share Posted February 16, 2017 at 01:51 AM At least some Dems came over. The bill passed 57-43If we could get 50 for this one despite the biased media proclaiming it "gives mentally ill nutcases the right to own guns" we might even get 60 to support CCL reciprocity.

GTX63 Posted February 16, 2017 at 03:22 AM Share Posted February 16, 2017 at 03:22 AM I've always said it was discriminatory. Not everyone that hears voices listens to everything they tell them to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hipshot Percussion Posted February 16, 2017 at 07:25 PM Share Posted February 16, 2017 at 07:25 PM I posted these headlines to FB right after this became news. Dont' think the Media Is Biased?

skinnyb82 Posted February 17, 2017 at 07:33 PM Share Posted February 17, 2017 at 07:33 PM The title of this thread makes me laugh. That's not what Congress did and any honest journalist knows that. If they don't, then they shouldn't be reporting on subjects like this as they are ignorant in regard to the law.

mikew Posted February 25, 2017 at 03:21 PM Share Posted February 25, 2017 at 03:21 PM Lying media, translation: obama's order to disarm old veterans will not stand.Bad news:That was separate, came sooner, and still stands, AFAIK. This first came to light for veterans in 2012, in force in 2013:http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/dec/3/change-on-veterans-gun-rights-lights-fire/http://www.benefits.va.gov/fiduciary/beneficiary.asp The House Joint Resolution 40 in question does not mention the plight of the veterans, or the actions of the VA. https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-joint-resolution/40/text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
