85. Yes, it would make sense...
but the VPC isn't in the business of being fair.

The driver's license argument is a good analogy. You could publish a report that shows that licensed drivers often fail to follow the law and the result is all too often serious injury or death. To make it really impressive, you could add stories in which the driver's license had been revoked or was a license to operate a crane, stories that involved the subject driving aircraft or trains and stories in which the person that was listed as dying wasn't injured at all.

Basically, the VPC inflated their report with stories that were factually incorrect or were later judged as a proper use of a firearm etc.

It obvious that they have an agenda and that the media lacks the honesty to point it out.

Welcome to DU.
