[QUOTE="D2Cat, post: 1673434, member: 19322"] Here are the comments in the article by CBS. Others disagreeing with main stream media interpretation. “CBS is about as a biased a news source as they come,” says Alan Korwin, [URL='https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/gunslinger-alan-korwin-has-made-a-career-pushing-unbridled-gun-rights-but-critics-say-he-doesnt-shoot-straight-7363406']Arizona’s resident gun-law expert.[/URL] “So if CBS has a story about guns, their bona fides for facts and unprejudiced reporting is zero.” CBS did not respond to a request for comment. Korwin’s thoughts on CBS aside, he has a valid point: No one knows how many guns there are in the country. “Gun ownership is private [so] there is no way to determine which states have more per capita ownership than others,” he says, adding that the entire premise of the story should be the first red flag that something is wrong. But the inaccuracies go deeper, explains Rob Reed, a Detroit-based gun expert. He [URL='http://www.examiner.com/article/cbs-news-demonstrates-media-ignornance-story-on-most-heavily-armed-states']wrote the following in an article for [I]The Examiner[/I][/URL]: “CBS News once again displays both complete ignorance of firearms-related topics and an absence of basic journalism skills…They mistake [the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives'] National Firearms Act (NFA) registration data on rare and heavily regulated firearms such as machine guns, short barreled shotguns, and silencers, for some mythical ‘national registration database’ for all firearms.” Put simply, NFA guns represent a fraction of all guns in the country and are not an accurate indication or reflection of general gun ownership.
