Pretty light on facts, heavy on sensationalism...

Odds are those parking-lot buyers are criminals themselves or will wind up selling the guns to criminals, said Flaherty, of the State Police. Critical mass attracts that type to gun shows: Having all those firearms in one place is simply more convenient than shopping in the classifieds, he said.
What are the odds? What are the stats? Do they exist or is this just a fallacy of appeal to authority? If this is such a "hard hitting special report" i am sure that these figures exist and aren't conjecture.

Here is the acutal report. It's 4 parts. The first two are already out. I'm excited to read the rest, however, when I listened to the intro, it seemed kinda leaning over toward the anti side of things. I could be wrong. It's the tone of how she said certain things that made me think that way.

What's really scary is that from the side view, I look like Cho with a tan and glasses. :shock:

I agree, it appeared to me that she may have been leaning a bit toward an anti frame of mind with her commentary..

If that's you, nice sidearm...
