I Don't Think the News Reads the News

Notice something wrong with this article?

They have bemoaned the state of America's political discourse, called for leadership in toning down heated rhetoric, speculated over whether this is a turning point for Barack Obama or Sarah Palin and puzzled over the shooter's mental state.

But one thing that has scarcely been raised is gun control.

Riiiiiight. It's not like Feinstein and McCarthy are dancing in the blood happy that they may have a tragedy needed to push through a restriction on arbitrary capacity magazines or anything... oh wait that's exactly what they're doing. Wait a minutes, the article contradict itself:

But here in the US, the only regulatory response so far has been to call for a ban on the sale of high capacity magazines like the sort that Jared Loughner allegedly used in Arizona, enabling him to shoot 31 bullets from a semi-automatic handgun without having to reload.

So gun control is scarcely being raised but gun control is being raised. This makes no sense whatsoever until you realize it's just one long anti-gun article. Those anti-gunners never were too strong on brains nor the ability to write something that doesn't contradict itself. Hell even I can write an entire article that doesn't forget earlier parts of itself exist.
