And doesn't seem to like it.

How's this for irony? From the statement following the end of the article:
Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and the wealthy wouldn’t fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
Dunno about y'all, but IMHO that article falls well short of being what I consider as "hard-hitting" ... or even "journalism," for that matter. In fact, it's such a rambling piece of trash I couldn't even figure out what the author was really trying to say.

West Virginia went so far as to exempt concealed-carry permit holders from federal background checks when purchasing firearms.
:rofl:

A man I once worked for (who subsequently narrowly avoided going to prison for federal contract fraud) used to say that "Everything you see in the media is true, unless you have first-hand knowledge of the facts."

Gun makers have taken to advertising directly to permit holders: Kahr Arms boasts that “Nothing fits better undercover” than its PM9 handgun.
Uh, sounds like they're marketing that to undercover cops, but that is a pretty funny complaint. Somehow, it's a bad thing that gun manufacturers are marketing low-capacity handguns to people that have undergone background checks, have had at least some kind of minimal training, and are issued a permit/license from a state government. Later in the article, he complains that the Tucson mass-shooter had a "high-capacity" Glock, and didn't need a permit. You just can't please some folks. I'm old enough to remember when they were trying to claim that gun makers were complicit in selling guns to people that couldn't pass a background check, much less have a carry permit. Now they are catering to the permitted, and it's a bad thing. :lol:
