Dave Workman: Does press ignore police on guns unless they support restrictions?

As usual, Dave Workman is well worth the read:

Breaking news late yesterday in Seattle and an editorial Sunday in Massachusetts just might reinforce the notion among gun rights activists that press bias on Second Amendment issues is thriving from one coast to the other.

Gun rights activists in that state are tired of police chiefs who treat the Second Amendment as a highly-regulated government privilege rather than a constitutionally protected civil right.

The news media have an anti-gun bias, we know that. They don’t want to examine the issue; they just want their rich anti-gun cronies to succeed in passing 594.”
