THAT is my problem with that article, and it would bother anyone with an interest in facts, instead of spin.

Bucco, I am sorry that you feel "used"; please accept that that was not my intention. Rather, I was using the point you made about not simply reading a headline and deciding what the article was going to say, rather than actually--and thoughtfully--reading the article.
We are in agreement about the problems with the article. What is unfortunate is that this is the person the NRA chose to represent it! He is as emotional in some of his comments as others are accused of being in responding to this issue, and he obfuscates it with unrelated points which, to me at least, come across as smokescreens rather than "sticking to the facts."
Again, my thoughts are about the presentation in the article, not the views of one side or the other of this debate. Thank you again for your suggestion to examine the article closely. An article like this would make a good class exercise for high school students.
