ABC Channel 7 Special Gun Coverage

Last Friday, ABC 7 had special coverage of "gun violence"  that inlcuded this report by Chuck Gowdie who amazed me by being somewhat balanced in dispelling some of the myths around the AR15:

Two half hour shows aired the same day; Our Chicago Stop the Violence.  One had a round table discussion with Father Pfleger, Supt. Brown, Evelyn Holmes and several others from the community.  Pretty much the only one to mention gun control as a solution was Brown, who called to ban assault weapons for a minute, but he was then asked why violent offenders are put back on the streets.  Even Fr. Pfleger talked about how cops, prsecutors and judges have to step up and do their part in protecting the community.  Overall the emphasis was on community involvement and not on guns.  I was floored at the fact that these people expressed what many people know but never say.  I felt like I had slipped into some sort of parrallel dimension or something.  Did anyone else watch these?  Opinions?

That surprised me.   Chuck Goudy and that "I-Team" did some weird stuff before the McDonald ruling, if I recall correctly.
