A while ago the richmond times dispatch changed ownership from conservative hands to liberal hands. During the last election, the media was also in a frenzy reporting every incident where a student brought a gun to school. One time before the presidential election this kid took his dads gun and held his class hostage, with the demand to see his mother let out of jail.

I first heard it on Fox news, and they mentioned that the funny thing was, the gun origionally had a trigger lock, and this was right in the middle of the debate about trigger locks and gun control, where every time something like this hapened pundits would go on TV saying 'see?! we need tiggerlocks! we need more gun s laws!' Now don't you think that would be a ppertinent part of the story to mention? to mention taht the student ( middle school student) simply stole to key to get to the gun?

I set out on the internet to find a copy of this in writing. . . everywhere I went i found nothing about the fact taht the gun origionally had a trigger lock. every story went through the details of it and at the end said "Al Gore speaking at a conference yesterday commented on this pointintg out that he is for tougher gun control laws/saying we need trigger locks on all guns".

well, after searching all nightI fninally found a copy of the reuters article that did not have that part edited out, Ironically it was on CBS online. I took that article and as I was heading out hte door my mother pointed it out in the local papper the following morning sure enough, it was the exact same reuters article, word for word as the CBS one, except just like the CNN one, the ABC one, the NBC oen etc. . the fourht and sixth paragrahs (ones adressing concealment and that it had a triggerlock on it) were missing and the richmond times dispatch of course had the tag at the end about Gore calling for more gun control laws.
