I caught the MSNBC article (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35484383/ns/us_news-life/). 20 paragraphs long, six supporting gun control, only 4 supporting RKBA.
FIRST ATTRIBUTION: Paragraph 7, "Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence"
FIRST QUOTE: Paragraph 8, “'It really is sad that we’ve become such a paranoid society that people want to take guns pretty much everywhere — including national parks,' he [Helmke] said Friday."

I guess "any press is good press", but we've got a ways to go to reach parity.

I am trying to imagine walking the Indiana Dunes a few miles east of Gary, while gazing upon the Chicago skyline to the northwest.
With my old .45 in plain view.
Complete mental breakdown. I was BORN in Chicago!
