Tilting the Newtown 'Conversation'

"...with pundits hysterical, naive or both." And also almost always ignorant of the facts pertaining to the issue, such as the difference between automatic and semi-automatic guns, high-powered hunting rifles versus low-powered "assault weapons," studies showing that concealed weapons laws reduce crime, studies showing that banning guns increases the probability of gun violence at those locations, the experiences of other countries with more restrictive gun laws than ours, etc., etc. The so-called pundits usually are not at all learned or expert (which is what pundit means) in anything but rather are clueless ignoramuses best described as windbags.
