It's high time for some Common Sense Press Control

The Media is all in for curtailing the our Second Amendment rights.  OK, then - maybe we should look at curtailing their First Amendment rights.

After all, this has a better chance of reducing school shootings than any of the gun control proposals that we've heard.  And their publications are commercial in nature - they make money on talking up the school shootings, which likely encourages more school shootings - which leads to higher ratings and more money for them.  Which is more important: Media profits or children's lives?

After all, we're constantly told that if it saves one kid's life than we should do it, amirite?

Go sign the petition.

Thank you. I know it will never fly, but dammit, it DOES make sense. All they want is the 'fame'...

While I do appreciate the sentiment behind such a petition, adding a second helping of "wrong" still doesn't change anything to "right", so no.

Will, it's playing tit for tat with them. Taking the high road just means that they will keep taking advantage of us. Would I prefer a world where we didn't have to do this? Sure. We don't live in that world.

Yep, tit for tat is the only strategy that works.
