A good Journalist has a duty to get involved and make a difference in this important societal debate. By following certain guidelines, the concerned Journalist can be assured of having the maximum impact on this shameful problem. The first principle to remember is that subtle use of terminology can covertly influence the reader. Adjectives should be chosen for maximum anti-gun effect. When describing a gun, attach terms like "automatic," "semi-automatic," "large caliber," "deadly," "high powered," or "powerful". Almost any gun can be described by one or more of these terms. More than two guns should be called an "arsenal". Try to include the term "assault weapon" if at all possible. This can be combined with any of the terms above for best results. Nobody actually knows what an assault weapon is, so you cannot be criticized for this usage. Your local anti-gun organization can provide you with a list of the latest buzz-words like "junk guns," "Saturday Night Specials," and "the criminal's weapon of choice". Don't worry about getting technical details right. Many a reporter has accidentally written about semi-automatic revolvers or committed other minor errors. Since most people know little about guns, this is not a problem. Only the gun nuts will complain and they don't count. The emotional content of your article is much more important than the factual details, since people are more easily influenced through their emotions than through logic. Broadcast Journalists should have a file tape showing a machine gun firing on full automatic. Run this video while describing "automatic" weapons used in a crime or confiscated by police. At the least, a large graphic of a handgun should be displayed behind the on-air personality when reading any crime story. Do not waste words describing criminals who use guns to commit crimes. Instead of calling them burglar, rapist, murderer, or repeat offender, simply use the term "gunman". This helps the public associate all forms of crime and violence with the possession of guns. Whenever drug dealers are arrested, guns are usually confiscated by the police. Mention the type and number of guns more prominently than the type and quantity of drugs. Include the number of rounds of ammunition seized, since the number will seem large to those who know little about guns. Obviously, the drug dealers who had the guns should now be called "gunmen". Political discussions on gun control legislation usually involve pro-gun organizations. Always refer to these organizations as "the gun lobby". If space permits, mention how much money the gun lobby has spent to influence political campaigns and describe their legislative lobbying efforts as "arm twisting" or "threats". Gun owners must never be seen in a positive light. Do not mention that these misguided individuals may actually be well educated, or have respectable jobs and healthy families. They should be called "gun nuts" if possible or simply gun owners at best. Mention details about their clothing, especially if they are wearing hunting clothes or hats. Mention the simplistic slogans on their bumper stickers to show that their intelligence level is low. Many gun owners drive pickup trucks, hunt and live in rural areas. Use these details to help portray them as ignorant rednecks. Don't use the word "hunt". Always say that they "kill" animals. Don't be afraid to interview these people, they are harmless even though we don't portray them that way. Try to solicit comments that can be taken out of context to show them in the worst possible light. Never question the effectiveness of gun control laws or proposals. Guns are evil and kill people. Removing guns from society can only be good. Nobody really uses guns for legitimate self-defense, especially women or children. Any stories about armed self-defense must be minimized or suppressed. Be careful about criticizing the police for responding slowly to 911 calls for help. It is best if the public feels like the police can be relied upon to protect them at all times. If people are buying guns to protect their families, you are not doing your job. Emphasize stories where people kill family members and/or themselves with guns. It is important to make the public feel like they could lose control and start killing at any moment if they have a gun in the house. Any story where a child misuses a gun is front page material. View every shooting as an event to be exploited. Always include emotional quotes from the victim's family if possible. If they are not available, the perpetrator's family will do nicely. The quote must blame the tragedy on the availability of guns. Photos or video of grieving family members are worth a thousand facts. Most people will accept the assertion that guns cause crime. It is much easier than believing that some people deliberately choose to harm others. Your story should include terms like "tragic" or "preventable" and mention the current toll of gun violence in your city or state. Good reporters always know exactly how many gun deaths have occurred in their area since the first of the year. List two or three previous incidents of gun violence to give the impression of a continuing crime wave. Little space should be devoted to shootings where criminals kill each other. Although these deaths greatly inflate the annual gun violence numbers, they distract from the basic mission of urging law abiding citizens to give up their guns. Do not dig too deeply into the reasons behind shootings. The fact that a gun was involved is the major point, unless someone under 18 is affected, in which case the child angle is now of equal importance. Any article about gun violence should include quotes from anti-gun organizations or politicians. One quote should say that we must do something "for the children". Anti-gun spokespersons should be called "activists" or "advocates". If your employer wishes to appear unbiased, you can include one token quote from a gun lobby group to show that you are being fair. The anti-gun statements should be accepted as fact. The gun lobby statement can be denigrated by including text like, "according to gun lobbyist Jones." Fortunately, statements from anti-gun organizations come in short sound bites that are perfect for generating an emotional response in the reader or viewer. Gun lobby statements usually contain boring facts that are easy to ignore. Feel secure in your advocacy journalism. The vast majority of your fellow Journalists support your activism. The nation will be a better place when only the police and military have guns. Remember that you are doing it for the children so the end justifies the means. Eventually, the government will have a monopoly on power. Don't worry about the right to freedom of the press, just contact me then for more helpful hints.

A total of 640 firearms were reported lost in that time frame, another 173 were reported stolen. That includes 469 handguns reported lost and another 117 handguns stolen. I wonder how many police were prosecuted under the Criminal Code, and, further, of those, how many were convicted. Did any lose their jobs? Or were they simply put on “administrative leave with full pay and benefits?” If anyone doubts that the Liberals’ firearms laws — now in place since the mid-90s — have reduced public trust in the police, you only need to see the double standard in effect for the police versus that which is imposed on mere citizens. Does the recent statement by Sgt. Eric Stewart regarding strraw purchasers apply to his fellow police when they lose a gun? He said: "We want the sentences to be hefty and high. Once you've taken that step to purchase a gun and then sell it illegally, you've now put a gun on the street that could cause a lot of damage. You are responsible for that, and I think the sentences should be high to demonstrate that.” Having said that, I must point out that the Criminal Code requires that a person whose gun is lost or stolen or who destroys a gun, must report the loss or theft with “reasonable despatch” [to the authorities]. See CC s.105 [loss or theft], and s.106 [destroy], resp. Interestingly, s.105 includes all guns, including non-restricteds, while s.106 covers all guns but excludes non-restricteds. Aside from reporting, as set out in these sections, I do not see any further requirements. That is not to say that one would not be prosecuted for the loss, theft or destruction. Perhaps if you are a cop, the reporting of the loss or theft is sufficient to avoid criminal prosecution. For the exact wording of these sections of the Criminal Code, see: https://www.canlii.org/en/ca/laws/stat/rsc-1985-c-c-46/latest/rsc-1985-c-c-46.html RICHARD A.

Tenth Place € Bellevue, WA 98005 € JPFO.org € 800-869-1884 € info@jpfo.org EDITORIAL € August 20, 2019 € Contact: Floyd Neeland How to fix America's murder problem€”DON'T DO SOMETHING, DO THE RIGHT THING It is the oldest mistake in Congress. €œWe must do something!€ It€™s a classic error of logic known as appelare desperadi, the appeal to desperation. It inevitably leads to disaster. You must do the right thing, not just anything. This requires thought, reason, facts and a solid plan. If you€™re stranded in a life boat and all you have is a drill, you don€™t start drilling holes. You turn the drill into a motor and get yourself to shore. We have had background checks for decades€”experts report these have done nothing to affect the recent spate of crazed mass murderers. They also have no effect on deranged children seeking to murder their classmates. Proposed expanded checks, if you read them, will impose costs and delays on innocent people but have zero effect on 300 million guns out there€”or psychos being motivated by the promise of fame conferred by incessant mass-murder promotion on the so-called €news.€ The new noise about €œred-flag laws€ obscures the fact that police already have the tools to control true threats. Seriously dangerous €œred flag€ people can be locked up right now, and you know the mass murderers have been repeatedly flagged, then ignored by authorities who face no consequences. And the new laws are hopelessly flawed, missing the obvious: People too dangerous to keep their own guns are too dangerous to be left out on the street€”with matches, vehicles, kitchen knives or even more guns easily bought from drug dealers... Why doesn€™t the €œnews€ media make this clear instead of pounding a drum? The obvious unraveling of society we can all see€”kids who want to mass murder their classmates, unhinged psychos shooting up stores and theaters, city-dwellers murdering their neighbors by the thousands in historically-black inner-city ghettos€”the answer isn€™t to outlaw guns owned by the innocent, or pass laws we already have that aren€™t working. Violating the Constitution by confiscating property people legally own (known as €œinfringement€), eliminating due process, encouraging citizens to become snitches with no repercussions for false, hoplophobic or malicious reports and turning police into warrantless nighttime invaders, these are not answers. This is like drilling holes in your life boat, and helping to sink America into a tyrannical socialist failure like so many others on history€™s junkpile. Fueled by media reports, anti-gun-rights groups have succeeded in convincing some fearful Americans that gun ownership literally €œproves€ a person must be crazy. Will simple gun possession become grounds for red-flagging neighbors? Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership says start here: 1. Don€™t Inspire Evil. Stop perpetual broadcasts and publication of mass murders, especially from the past. €œRefrain from gratuitous or repetitious portrayal of mass murderers€™ names and images.€ The criminals want fame. Deny them their infamy. "We must starve terrorists of the oxygen of publicity which they seek." -- Margaret Thatcher 2. Teach students and the public about the righteous place the Second Amendment holds in American society. Firearms are crucial in the preservation of peace and freedom, creating a balance of power between government and the public it serves. Guns have social utility, saving lives, stopping crime and keeping you safe. Distorting these truths through emphasis and omission is a direct violation of the Associated Press Code of Ethics. 3. Encourage routine gun-safety training and marksmanship, so people young and old develop a proper respect for firearms, like Americans used to possess before this was banished from the public square and the current insanity took its place. If you own a gun and understand gun safety, take someone you know to the range, this week. That will do more to slow the barrage of misinformation spewing from TV and the media than anything else you can do. August is national shooting sports month, with range discounts galore didn't the media tell you? nssf.org; ------------------------------ End of Cdn-Firearms Digest V17 #679 *********************************** Submissions: mailto:cdn-firearms-digest@bogend.ca Mailing List Commands: mailto:majordomo@bogend.ca Moderator email: mailto:owner-cdn-firearms@bogend.ca List owner: mailto:owner-cdn-firearms@bogend.ca FAQ list: http://www.canfirearms.ca/Skeeter/Faq/cfd-faq1.html Web Site: http://www.canfirearms.ca CFDigest Archives: http://www.canfirearms.ca/archives To unsubscribe from _all_ the lists, put the next four lines in a message and mailto:majordomo@bogend.ca unsubscribe cdn-firearms-digest unsubscribe cdn-firearms-chat unsubscribe cdn-firearms end (To subscribe, use "subscribe" instead of "unsubscribe".)
