I see I don't have to state the obvious here... NPR is obviously slanted to one side of the political spectrum. With that being said no one here, regardless of their political views, would expect NPR to publish a pro-gun piece. I would sooner expect Sean Hannity to revel in the benefits of socialism. Yet they did author an article that at least attempts to avoid obvious anti-gun rhetoric.
The take away boys and girls? We are winning. We can't get lax, and we can't let our guard down. But we are winning. We've come a long way from Governor Cuomo (who is a blithering idiot, BTW) shouting about how we don't need ten rounds to kill a deer. I used to fear for my children's ability to enjoy the shooting sports well into adulthood. I do not as much now. Eventually we will see a major defeat. I personally believe it will be an ammunition tax, but that's neither here nor there. The fact that NPR has to sugarcoat an article with this much "bias free" candy so as to not appear biased against firearm ownership tells me that they know they can't badmouth gun ownership or CCW as they once could without reprise and backlash.
