49. We Need More Waiting Periods and Background Checks

Last edited Fri Dec 21, 2012, 01:10 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

Seems there should be a waiting period on stories printed/broadcast by the media. So many 'facts' are so often very wrong. They should have to verify all the facts prior to broadcasting a story. I'm thinking a 2 week wait to verify information would be acceptable.

Background checks on those in the media reporting said 'facts' should all be implemented. A person of unsound mind can certainly convey much false information meant only to hurt and inflame others.

We should infringe on all of our rights, not just the 2nd Amendment, that would make this a much more wonderful nation to live in.
