Have you noticed that virtually every guest on the news shows has a concealed carry permit?

It seems like every guest they have on says "I own seven assault weapons, and I'm carrying a glock right now!" And they present these people only as the good guys. They never seem to have a guy on who says "I don't own any guns, and I don't want them in my neighborhood." I'm not arguing with whether or not that is the appropriate response, either, just pointing out that the list of guests on these news shows appears to be virtually 100% gun carriers.



Disclaimer, although I've said it 100 times: I am NOT anti-gun. I have no problem with owning guns. I am just pointing out something which seemed curious to me.

Not that there is anything wrong with that, but it doesn't seem very balanced.
