The two folks I spoke with were a daughter whose mom was principal at Newtown and a dad who lost a child at Newtown. It was interesting because every time they used some bit of statistic I would counter them with facts, such as existing laws; what the law has been since the 1968 GCA concerning convicted felons, etc. The dad even admitted that A. Lanza stole the guns he used, underscoring the point I made, and ABC chose to air, that criminals will find a way to get guns. The spin that was put on the overall news report is typical, but very interesting considering that if you were a witness, as I was, how they totally distort what is said and what the NRA's motivation is. Funny. The host says "...Keeping law makers from doing anything about guns." As if the NRA is the ONLY movement, or has such total control over Congress that everything is done at their bidding. I always thought the Left was on board with reducing crime, not guns. Hmmm.
