I guess I just disagree because I don't believe reporting on what's going on in our world is trying to convince people of something. I believe gun violence really is an issue, too

Well then you have too much trust in the news media which is never a good thing.

I had issues with guns before the media did. But ok

You should probably have more of a problem with the people using the guns and their mental stability, but ok.

I don't know about you,but it feels great not to be brainwashed.  

Why can't you guys have a rational conversation without trying to be insulting? By telling me I'm brainwashed and what not you make me believe your argument is flimsy and you have no other recourse but to be nasty

One person said that so you can't apply that to "you guys".

Did I put your name next to brainwashed? NO. I don't know you well enough to assume that. I just don't trust the media,and I love having a clear mind without the medias constant bullsmurf in it. If I wanted to insult you I would have quoted you.

They're using these shootings to make guns look bad. You rarely hear them report on people who use guns defending themselves, just the massacre stories. I've read multiple self defense stories in the past few month but have yet to hear 90% of them on major news outlets.

  It really is best to just not believe everything you hear, see and read.

You implied it, too. A direct response to what you said, I agree that issues with mental health need to be addressed, too.. But none of the proposed gun laws lead me to believe that anything so drastic as a media conspiracy to make guns "look bad" is even nescessary

Well alright then

You quoted the person who was talking to me directly and said "isn't it nice to not be brainwashed"

I was commenting on her post about trusting the media....Not you.
