What matters with successful propaganda is not the truth, but the impression that is left behind. Obviously those gun banners in the media understood that the editing job they created was not only wrong, misleading, but an out and out lie. But hundreds of millions saw it, believe that nasty, rude, gun owners are badgering grieving parents, and that impression is the one they will carry to the voting booth.

Gun banners in the media are going to continue to demonize gun owners with lies till your firearms are confiscated.

What did you expect, honesty?
