Two college professors recently gave journalists from around the state a crash course in gun history, terminology and use at a firing range. The state’s Society of Professional Journalists chapter organized the seminar to better educate reporters on a controversial and technically complex topic. In the course of reporting on gun issues and recent control measures, journalists have been criticized for making errors regarding the operation of guns, confusing automatic with semiautomatic firearms and using incorrect terminology. Mike Savino, a reporter with the Record-Journal and society board president, said he hoped to offer journalists a chance to learn about guns in a politically-neutral environment. |

"too many guns" according to WHOM?
That's like saying "too much money".
There IS no such thing. |

| Is a lack of education or a desire to remain ignorant the problem? |

TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
