Tonight (Fri 07May) on the CBS Evening News with Dan Rather they were touting the wonderful restrictive guns laws of Japan. They showed kids playing all sorts of violent video games and then they talked about the low firearm murder rate in Japan and then how America's problem was the easy access to guns.
Here is where to go to give CBS some feedback on their propaganda...

Here is a copy of what I sent them...
Dear CBS,
Tonight I was appalled at a report that you made about Japan and gun control. Yes, Japan has a low firearm murder rate compared to the United States, but that is not because of the restrictive gun control laws in Japan as you implied. If it were that simple, why does Switzerland have an extremely low firearm murder rate when that country is awash in fully automatic (machine guns) weapons. Most male citizens in that country are REQUIRED to keep machine guns in their homes in case of a national emergency.
I intend to write all of your advertisers to inform them that I will not be buying their products as long as they advertise on an anti-gun-rights news program. I will also encourage all of my acquaintances to the same until you stop your antigun propaganda.
