(31,205 posts)LaPierre is even given one second of MSM time. But, then again what am I'm saying????? That the MSM would cover topics concerning common sense regulations as it pertains to weapons? Nah......doesn't pay the advertisers and that's what it's all about. Out there today, there aren't any Murrows or Cronkites in the MSM and their types are truly missed......at least IMHO
