I have to admit that I have had TLC on my list of "okay" channels, until tonight. SEveral of their programs have had an anti-gun-rights slant, but I have given them a lot of rope over the normal network crap.
Tonight they are running a program on the 5 high profile school shooting cases over the last few years.
They just made two comments, both completly unsubstantiated and, to me, ludicrous:
1. "Hundreds of thousands of children are taking guns to school"
2. "In the U.S., where there are more weapons than there are people, it is easier for a child to obtain a gun than it is for them to buy a beer.
The first one.. Well, I have no idea where that came from.
The second one is full of typical liberal agenda misleading crap. "weapon" is not Gun.. There may be more guns than people in the US, but I guarantee there are more weapons than people in EVERY country.
On the other topic in #2... I am sure that if you are to compare how easy it is for the average child to buy a gun to buying a beer OR to obtaining a beer to obtaining a gun, you would come up with a drastically different conclusion.
They then went on to to criticize the reactions of LE. they criticized the following:
Punishing kids as adults
Metal Detectors
Locker Searches
They suggested that we owe it ot our children not to be tough on them, but to find "long lasting" solutions to prevent tragedies with guns.
That was the last straw for the mis-information channel as far as I am concerned.
