Cozying up to gun control advocates throughout this entire piece on red flag laws.

Acted like the sheriffs that said they would not enforce them were crazy and dangerous people.

All in the name of “public safety.”

I agree, they should only report on news that reflects my point of view.

60 Minutes has been putting out pro-gun-control hit pieces for decades. They've attacked CCW permitting, campus carry, MSR's, and individual gun companies.

Par for the course for them. When it comes to firearms forget about the media being objective.

It’s all propaganda, and it’s not even disguised anymore.

I'm not totally opposed to all red flag laws, but it would not have prevented the sandy hook school shooting.

It would have stopped the shooting by that nut in Colorado.

Red flag laws are feel good laws for authoritarians but really will do nothing but ke gun owners for seeking help for run of the mill anxiety or depression.

The media playes to low IQ populists.

In 1985, the Los Angeles Times surveyed 3,000 journalists on gun-control. 78% supported imcreased regulations on firearms. It's probably above 90% now. John Lott's book on the media bias against guns is an excellent read, proves that the media, private orgs, and governments work together very closely to push the anti-gun agenda.

No, I would just rather have news reported to me in an unbiased manner

They put bodycam videos of cops unconstitutionally confiscating people’s guns and championed that shite.

Citizens being able to protect themselves is frightening to governments and it’s why the founding fathers put it in the Constitution.

Media sure does want us to give up our rights as Americans.

The new Joker movie showed that the media is the enemy of the people.

In an odd twist, if you want this you need to read/listen to Al Jazeera or BBC.

Why even watch? We all know it’s just the evening circle jerk for lefties and people who don’t know how to think for themselves.

Police who say they won't enforce red-flag laws are simply lying.

We live in a police state, and they get off on it.

Try walking down the highway of the reddest parish in Louisiana carrying a shotgun -- all completely legal (at least it is in Texas) -- and watch how fast one of your buddy-buddy flag-waving "first responders" detain you at gunpoint and treat you like a criminal.
