What Do They Teach in Journalism School Anyway?

So, I read today’s silly gun control “news” story.  This one comes from the Yakima Herald in Washington state.  Among the highlights:

• “The image of [the BATFE] being jackbooted thugs doesn’t hold water”;
• “the so-called “gun show loophole” that allows unlicensed firearm dealers to circumvent background checks”;
• “a large percentage of guns that are smuggled into Mexico come from gun shows in Eastern Washington”;
• “Washington state is the No. 4 source in the country for illegal guns in Mexico”;
• “high-powered pistols like the FN Herstal”; and
• the ubiquitous “semi-automatic assault rifles.”

The article is here:  Gun show loophole sees many weapons smuggled into Mexico.  Feel free to read the article and e-mail the author if you believe he has mistaken any facts.  Please be nice…
