Pretty effective hatchet job, excellent use of spurious, managed numbers to foster the semblance of how dangerous a "gun" can be.
Probably the most injurious portion in truth, was the Virginia gun show segment, where a brother to one of the victims was funded by ABC to purchase as many weapons as possible. It appeared that he was never asked for any ID, and put forward the idea that one vendor took $100.00 extra on the price to "look the other way" with respect to his ability to legally purchase a weapon. It was not as visually stunning as the 9 year old shooting the Uzi, followed by the story of the idiot father who let his 8 year old fire a fully automatic AK, resulting in the child loosing control and killing bystanders at a range, but it will have more impact to the whole 2nd Amendment struggle in the end.
The statement that the "NRA" refused to be interviewed made us as gun owners look like heathen, red-neck bubbas, all holding a callous disregard for "sensible, realistic laws" to curb the danger that the inanimate gun poses to society.
The cherry picking of story's shown;
the husband that shoots his wife in the middle of the night thinking she is an intruder,
the teenager who finds a loaded AK in the closet and kills his best friend, the youngster who finds a loaded pistol and shoots his playmate, (this one assigned to a home for troubled youth while his father serves time for the penalty of not securing his weapon) showed the young boy in a drum corp marching in the Presidential Inauguration parade, placing the implicit stamp of Obama approval to the whole premise.
