    The fact that private gun ownership can act as a deterrent against crime is definitely a very legitimate point.

    However, trying to say that this woman's story isn't being reported because of bias in the so-called "liberal media" is pretty dumb, since I haven't seen the story reported in any conservative media, either. The fact that American media hasn't mentioned the story likely has more to do with the fact that American media tends to focus on events which occur in America. Seriously, how often do we get ANY news about what's going on in Australia? Obvious bias is obvious...

    I agree if we're going to focus on rare mass shootings we should focus on the times guns saved lives, not to mention the unknown times when a criminal decided not even to try a violent crime b/c of the chance someone might have use a gun on him/her.

    The liberal / conservative thing, however, I think is completely bogus-- World Wrestling Federation of public policy.
