Star Tribune spins conceal-carry

[j_beste]

I love how the Red Star uses gun statistics not involving conceal and carry holders to debate this law. If a gun crime is committed and none of the parties have a conceal and carry permit, then the crime is UNRELATED to this issue. Yet the red star uses these statistics in theireditorial to degrade the conceal carry law, and states "supporters of the old law win the argument hands down." This is typical liberal spin flaunted by this communist rag, read by millions in Minnesota. Support the NRA.

Note: this paper fought this law tooth and nail saying the conceal and carry holders would skyrocket gun crimes accross the state. They were DEAD WRONG and a few years later publish this piece of garbage. I read it to see if they would actually admit they were wrong, but again amazing spin.

newspaper companies make their money buy selling newspapers. telling the truth and supplying all the facts sometimes don't sell newspapers. so they inturn put their "spin" on things to stir controversy. controversy sells newspapers because people on both sides of the event/matter buy the papers to read what is wrote. in short, newspapers will print anything to get sales, no matter who they hurt or burn.

Anyone else see this awesome little sentence?

DeFiebre reported that crime didn't go up or down in ways that could be linked directly to the conceal-carry law.

...WOW i hate the liberal media

They don't tell you that violence went up under then Hennepin Co. Attorney Amy Klobuchar'swatch... when she repeatedly drug her feet and did little prosecution of such criminals. Oh yeah these were criminals, who didn't buy their gun legally. What a complete canard.

She the same embarassing jr. Sen. from MN now who told hold a little girl came up to her crying because "the penguins in Antarctica are going to drown," after seeing the Leftist propaganda animated "Happy Feet" movie.

What an embarrassment I leave with these world class no-nothings.
