When the writer of an article opens with a statement like:
"The CPRC report was released to combat the
liars over at Everytown for Gun Safety, a Michael Bloomberg,
communist gun grabbing organization."
I usually dismiss such articles because they are written with a great deal of bias. Ron Bloomberg a communist? Give me a break. The article cited makes a number of claims of inaccuracy in the Everytown for Guns Safety but does not give any detail on what they believe to be the incorrect information.
Let's be honest. It is estimated that the NRA outspends gun control organizations 10-1. I visited the Everytown for Gun Safety website and had no problems with it, as I have no problems with the NRA website. Both are advocating what they believe is the best path to follow.
The last statement in the article sums up the intent of the author:
"In the end, it matters not what the numbers spell either way, as the restrictions on government over the rights of the citizens continues to remain in black and white in
Article 2 of the Bill of Rights… "…the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.""
Not sure what world the author is living in, but the number of court cases in this country in recent years involving the 2nd Amendment rights would lead anyone to believe that the subject is anything but "black and white".
