    | The NRA magazine American Rifleman has a regular column called “The Armed Citizen,” which consists of “amazing stories which highlight accounts of law-abiding gun owners in America using their Second Amendment rights for self-defense” against robbers, rapists, burglars, and other assailants. American Rifleman doesn’t have a similar column with accounts of spouses shooting one another, jealous lovers shooting their exes, alcohol-fueled shootings on Saturday night, workplace revenge massacres, or children accidentally shooting their playmates, but no matter. The NRA is an advocacy organization putting out the best side of its story of armed self-reliance.

    | Why doesn't the American Rifleman publish accounts of illegal use of guns?  For the same reason that the main stream media doesn't publish accounts of lawful use of guns for self defense. |

    | This 'journal' is a lefty site that provides no comments section to debate its poppycock. |

                      | America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy.  She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by one enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom.  — JOHN QUINCY ADAMS (1821) |  |  |
