Protecting Their Own, The Media and the Obamas

Fox News’s Jim Pinkerton on March 3 cited Media Research coverage of how ABC edited an interview with First Lady Michelle Obama. ABC claimed the edit, which removed Mrs. Obama’s inaccurate claim that an “assault” weapon” was used in a recent Chicago crime, was for “time.” Pinkerton remarked, “As Scott Whitlock of Media Research Center pointed out, it was an eight and a half minute segment.” (See more at Breitbart)

Some Democrats Admit Banning Handguns is Goal ~ Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL)

Via Breitbart:

Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), a member of the Democratic Party’s leadership in the House of Representatives, suggested to Jason Mattera at a Feb. 13 women’s rights rally that plans for an assault weapons ban and private-sales background checks were only the beginning of a broader gun control agenda extending to handguns as well.

Schakowsky evidently did not recognize Mattera, a conservative video journalist and senior investigative reporter for Talk Radio Network, who infamously confronted Vice President Joe Biden in the Capitol. (Mattera introduced himself to Schakowsky by name but did not indicate that he was filming or that he is conservative.) She spoke to Mattera as if he were a fellow gun control enthusiast–and Mattera played along, eliciting answers about Schakowsky’s enthusiasm for gun control.

The Democratic Party has taken a hard line on guns recently, with President Obama’s strategist, David Axelrod, joining New York mayor Michael Bloomberg in backing gun control enthusiast Robin Kelly over former Rep. Debbie Halvorson, who has an “A” rating from the National Rifle Association, in the recent primary to replace former Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. of Illinois. Kelly has promised to be a “leader” in “banning guns.”

A Sandy Hook Father Has a Civics 101 Class For Congressmen/Women At the Capital

Via Gateway Pundit:

Bill Stevens, whose daughter attended Sandy Hook Elementary school, testified before a Working Group Public Hearing at the Connecticut State Capitol on gun violence prevention. Mr. Stevens told the committee about his daughter’s 5th grade friend at the school,

“Unfortunately, her friend’s little sister was murdered in Sandy Hook that day when lock-down and 911 were not enough to protect her from an evil person… Charlton Heston made the phrase “From my cold dead hands” famous and I am here to tell you today, you will take my ability to protect my Victoria from my cold dead hands.”
