When you watch the news, you are supposed to be watching a factual and unbiased reporting of the news. However, that is often not the case and it is especially true when it comes to guns.

Many examples of the media's anti-gun bias have been documented by this and other pro-gun groups, as well as by authors such as John R. Lott and Bernie Goldberg, and John Stossel. One of the most prominent examples offered is how the vast majority of news oulets failed to report that the shooter at the Appalachian Law School were stopped by students with guns. More common examples include television news showing images of guns behind talking heads discussing violent crimes (which may or many not have even involved a gun), or running stock footage of a person shooting a fully automatic "assault rifle" while the story they are covering actually involves a semi-automatic rifle. These are just a few of the types of examples of bias in the media against guns.

But it is another level of bias entirely when a man with a bomb is referred to as a "gunman". And that is just what a Cleveland ABC affiliate did about the deranged man who recently took hostages at a New Hampshire Hillary Clinton campaign headquarters...

When the U.S. Supreme Court gets around to deciding what the Second Amendment means to Justice Anthony Kennedy - who, we are constantly reminded, is the guy who really matters - I hope it won't forget what happened on Sunday in Colorado Springs.

What started out as a perfect example of the dangers of allowing Americans to keep and bear arms - the fatal shooting of two teenage girls and the wounding of their father in a church parking lot - ended instead as a nearly perfect example of the wisdom of allowing Americans to keep and bear arms.

It's only nearly perfect, because the resolution involved a church security guard who had once been a police officer, not just some member of the congregation who happened to be armed that afternoon.

That small imperfection, unfortunately, leaves an argument for the people whose irrational fear of guns overpowers their rational fear of criminals: "This was a former cop," they'll say. "Cops undergo extensive firearms training, etc., etc., etc."

Fine. But just for the record, if I ever need someone to save my life by firing a gun, I'll take the gun enthusiast who's at the range twice a week over the well-trained cop who happens to be an indifferent marksman.

I've got a perfect example of something else, though. It's what happens in a place full of innocent, unsuspecting people where no one is armed except the guy who decides to go on a rampage. That one played out at a shopping mall in Omaha last Wednesday.

No law-abiding person had a gun to stop the homicidal maniac who used his stepfather's semiautomatic rifle to blow away the mall's no-guns-allowed policy, then killed eight people.
