Mainstream Media Misrepresents NRA's Position on Right-to-Carry Permits
2017-06-24
[NRA-ILA] There is an ongoing debate as to the severity of the decline in the modern attention span. However, in a world pervaded by 140 character messages and trivial clickbait articles, few would argue that many are now consuming information more rapidly and in smaller pieces. In this environment, an article’s headline has become increasingly important, taking an outsized role in conveying the information within.

Therefore, when a headline contains misleading information, whether due to political motivation or simple inaccuracy, it is not without consequence.

#8  Black Death! From the muzzle he beckoned
To newshounds who breathlessly reckoned,
"That's crazy! High-powered!
Our babies are showered
With thousands of rounds every second!"

#2  Well. It's dumb to say provocative stuff that unnecessarily attracts attention. Similarly, you can carry a gun all day, permitted or not, (I don't endorse the latter) as long as you don't create a need for an officer to pat you down or start waving it around in an ostentatious way.

#1  "Do you have a permit for that?"
"Yes."
"Show me."

"Do you have a permit for that?"
"No."
"Shoot me."

Why does anybody think a piece of paper makes one safer?
