The mainstream media have sensationalized recent sprees of mass shootings--from Jiverly Wong's murder of 13 (plus killing himself) in a Binghamton, New York, language center, to the shoot ing of three police officers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to the murder of eight by another gunman in a Carthage, North Carolina, nursing home just weeks earlier.

And the gun-grabbing lobby, which garners plenty of publicity, has a predictable "solution" to the problem. Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, opined: "It is time for leaders in Washington to drop empty platitudes after each horrific shooting, and instead do what they're paid to do: show backbone, and enact reasonable laws to keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of dangerous people."

Who are those "dangerous people" he's talking about? He's talking about you.
