yes, and they involve the apparent 'bad' guy (the one wanting to take our stuff) being stopped from doing so, which is how it is supposed to be according to popular culture so is therefore not really newsworthy

we expect people to defend their 'stuff',,,,just like we expect them to drive while sober, or achieve rank in their jobs through hard work,,,,

how many times do we hear stories about people getting home safe from work,,,as opposed to running someone down

or being promoted at their job, as opposed to discriminated against


...thats the nature of the news, they have to pick and choose the stories that are unexpected or undesirable,,,,,their sponsors require viewership and thats what viewers choose to watch,

Isn't all human life precious? If it is, then why not report all killings of people in which firearms were involved?

But when watching the News, it's only Bad Guys with Guns; that's what you get to drive the Agenda to Ban All Guns, because a Bad Guy will use one.
In all Honesty, wouldn't you love to see a story where a Woman stops a Rapist with her gun? It does happen, but it never gets reported because it doesn't fit the Narrative that the "We Know Better That You" Newsrooms.

Exactly. Why do you think the media only reports the doom and gloom pretty much Msharmony? It's because good news doesn't serve their agenda like bad news does. Good news can't be manipulated to make you fear something or someone and make you wanna give over your rights. It's all agenda driven, bottom line, what suits it gets reported, what doesn't.....is left unsaid. Mainstream news is about more than just ratings, a LOT more.

because most news shows have about an hour to report the news, and they dont usually collaborate with each other to make sure EVERY story is reported,,,nor are they told of EVERY Story,

and with some 30000 gun deaths per year,,,how reasonable is it to expect the news to have the ability to report EVERY instance, and still report other events happening which are also 'news',,,,?

I think the word 'never' is tossed around too much

usually, those types of incidents are reported locally, no agenda, just editorial license of what will receive viewership/interest

and what wont,,,,

theres millions of stories to choose from,,, they wont choose all of them,,,

I think there is alot of passing the buck going around personally,,,

the media is a business,, does business care about what we personally want, desire, need,, MO

what business cares about is profit and earnings to maintain itself

so media has to maintain itself,, without money we dont have medica, without media we have NO information (a different extreme than just not having ALL information)

so, yeah, there is an agenda, to make money enough to sustain and maybe even profit

what we see in media is a reflection of what WE CHOOSE To watch,,,when we arent watching it, ,it gets pulled


like it or not,,,

I didn't have any trouble finding any of these stories, but I did have to look; twice as many Bad Guys are Killed by a Citizen with a Gun than by Law Enforcement, yet you don't hear that in the National Press.

If Every Law Abiding Citizen in the Projects of Chicago carried a Gun, would the Crime Rate go Up or Down?

define 'bad guy'

im sure more citizens are robbed than police officers too, that would make logical sense to me due to how police in many places are given cart blanche to shoot to kill,,,,something I disagree with because I value human life

citizens arent given that same grace and are held (thank goodness) to a higher standard

most people know that, so they are gonna be alot more cautious around police than they will the average joe,,,

oh, and more guns would eventually lead to fewer burglaries, but more deaths of burglars and just about every other type of citizen,,,,

people are impulsive, many are paraonid, especially those with anger management issues,,
gun deaths would be justified for all types of erroneous reasons,,,,

I know one story you will not see on the news.

The news is responsible for destroying lives of innocent people. We love to post picture and name of people accuse and treat them as if they are guilty and when they are found to be innocent, we become silent on the case and that person life has now been destroyed all in the name of ratings.

URGENT: The UN Just Passed Global Gun Control Treaty

The UN just passed an “international” arms control treaty with the express purpose of controlling who can own guns. The general claim is that this is only about stopping criminals and terrorists from getting guns, but it’s unavoidable that the only way to “see” who owns what guns is to regulate law abiding citizens, create mandatory registration, and violate Second Amendment rights.

A former version of the treaty was reviewed by world-famous constitutional and international law expert Dr. Michael Farris, which we published here. Dr. Farris is a constitutional lawyer, has argued before the US Supreme Court, and has an LLM in international law from the University of London. He explains in simple terms: “[The treaty] is aimed not only at arms dealers—it is aimed at every “end user” of firearms. Yes, that means gun owners like you and me.”

Please note that this is a developing story, so we’ll be editing this page and article continuously as we learn more about the specific impacts of what was actually signed. Please check back for updates.

The Treaty is NOT Just For “Criminals”

The claim, given by the UN itself, is that the treaty is only for criminals and won’t violate the rights of the law abiding. This, of course, is a pure lie. There’s no way to magically “stop criminals” from getting guns without regulating people like us with registration.

Remember, the US is currently giving F-16s to the Muslim Brotherhood. We’ve spent decades arming terror cells for “diplomacy” reasons. They don’t care about disarming these people. The purpose of this treaty is simple: consolidate power.

In the future, if we have to choose between following an illegal treaty and following the constitution, I know exactly which I’ll follow.
Speak Out While It's Still Legal:

The UN has no authority over the US. In order for the UN to have that, 2/3 of the American Public would have to vote to admen the constitution. If the UN ever tries to impose that on the US, they may get the guns all right, sticking down their throats.

I should have stated Criminals in place of Bad Guys, but to me they're one and the same.

Considering that there are over 60Million Armed Citizens & only 90K in Law Enforcement (Police, Sheriff, Troopers, etc.) it's no wonder that more Criminals are killed by Legal Gun Owners.

Just came across this story today of a Woman fighting off her attacker with a Gun.

OREGON CITY, Ore. (KOIN) -- A woman used her legally-owned handgun to fend off an alleged attacker on an Oregon City street late Sunday night.

The 22-year-old victim was attacked by the stranger around 10:20 p.m. just after she parked her car at 8th and JQ Adams streets, police said.

The suspect approached her from behind, she told authorities, then grabbed her ponytail, dragged her backwards and began to assault her. She pulled out her handgun and pointed it at the man, who then ran way.

Or how they exploit tragedies for their own gain......it makes me sick to my stomach how murders, car accidents, anything with a fatslity basically are shown in the media daily and the family members made to be put on camera. It's sickening to me how they use the events as a means to grab attention for their news programs, truly sickening.

To a point, but....there is still a much bigger agenda than just that. It's not just about money, it's about the manipulation and control of the populace. Is it a reflection of us that a lot fall for that manipulation? Perhaps, but either way it is definitely present and has been even going back to the 60's though more pronounced today.
