'The Onion is less parodic’: Salon's example of 'hypocrisy of the pro-gun movement' is mock-tastic

The New York Times and MSNBC demonstrated a couple of reporting fails (read: attempts to spread lies) in regards to rules & regs at the NRA convention in Nashville.

Salon took the baton and ran with it, alleging that the NRA are hypocrites for insisting that attendees obey all local gun laws:

Steaming take in the subtitle:

The gun lobby jumps through hoops each year to comply with the same regulations they would much rather dismantle

And businesses also jump through hoops to comply with Obamacare regs they’d rather dismantle — where’s the hypocrisy?

@freddoso Once again, Salon clumsily dances another complicated minuet with the truth.

When it comes to guns, the law breakers are the problem, not the law followers — but don’t tell that to Salon.
