Freedom Outpost
The mainstream media demonizes guns every time a crime committed with one occurs. Yet, stories of people who defended themselves with guns rarely make headline news.
Elliot Rodger’s case is a sad example of this bias – the disturbed young man stabbed three men to death at his apartment before shooting five people and striking four with his car. After his horrifying crime spree, the media screamed for more gun control.
The fact that Rodger stabbed three people to death was barely mentioned.
Where were the cries to ban knives?
During a scan of news stories today, something caught my attention: I noticed two cases that involved a weapon that we don’t hear much about in America. I wondered how often crimes with this particular weapon are committed in here in the US.
It didn’t take much research to find the answer.
Here is a sampling of news stories from the last month or so (several are from the last two weeks) that involved the use of a particularly barbaric weapon: the machete.
