"The worst part is that despite the screams and gunshots, because it was Diwali, nobody picked up on anything. It's a gated housing estate and it's just very odd that the only thing they took was my cellphone. There were luxury cars parked outside and they didn't take it."

Expect more media anti gun rhetoric.

Fark, unless, a good guy, with a gun... put an end to the dreadful ordeal...

The media type very rarely see it like that.

It just never stops, I feel very sorry for the victims, but what their reaction is going to be after this incident is what worries me. Obviously they did not take their safety very seriously since the guy just walked into the house, maybe open door or whatever, but now they will probably get onto the bandwagon trying to take my security and my sporting goods away.

As a member of "the media" that hurts.

But what's worse is the fact that I cannot refute your statement.

I'm not getting involved in this argument again. However, I think there are good and bad workers in the media, in car sales, in gun sales and even in prostitution. I doubt whether the ratios differ that much in any profession.

Dude. I know you feel the urge to fly the flag for your profession. But I think you're being not being honest with yourself if you try pretend their isn't a substantial left leaning bias in at least the face of the media.

I think the ratios will differ substantially. The personality that is drawn to a career in the media is , it has been in my dealing, normally one that differs substantially from those who make their living dealing arms.

I don't see much in the mainstream media that is pro gun or pro self reliance. And trust me I look hard.

Do you think Media24 is owned by the left wing? Or that its owners will allow it to go directly against their views? Sure you may have a few other platforms in this country. They are mostly not read.

Because GFSA has better PR than GOSA, we blame it on the media? Please.

But I fall for it again. I will stop now.
