When a justified homocide or a hero killing the bad gun occures the media usualy makes no mention of the gun manufacture. Does the media have an agenda with this type of action?
For example look at this story.

You are right! I the gun used in this situation had been mentioned, all the ladies would have wanted one! Well, a lot of them. It would have been the gun of beautiful babes and feisty old women.

The bigger problem with the media (above their anti-second amendment campaign which is not strictly a "leftist" thing) is their feeding frenzy will inspire copy-cat crimes.
I also strongly object to the lie "Largest massacre ever in the U.S." for two reasons. First, some copy-cat nutcase will thing they have to top it. Second it isn't anywhere near the truth, except for bigots who think Native Americans are not people. They should read a little history, like the California's humanitarian hero that told his men to shoot the babies with pistols instead of rifles. He killed a couple of hundred unarmed people in 1876, his name was Kingsley.

Yes, the definitely do.
Just like putting "high power" in front of "rifle". There is no such thing as a "high power rifle". You can get "high power" ammo for ANY weapon. The media just distorts things like that to sway the public against firearms.
That's how the term "Saturday night special" got it's name.
There's no such thing. ANY weapon can fall into that category but the media hyped up a few and now they are "banned".

well im just gonna guess. i think because if u tell tht info about the gun someone can tell in court that it is mine o whatever. that way we no whos gun it is. it also can show a way of how someone dies. it can also show whether or not the owner of tht gun shot the person or not since u can check the bullets. there r many possibiltites.

Yep. The lib media always has an agenda.
They use words like "assault rifle", semi-automatic (as if that's something ominous), and "high powered".
It's usually the liberal AP reporters who slip this garbage in.

They do it to demonize guns. But what really happens is the sales of the gun they mention go up. (And so does the price!)

They have an agenda... they want to demonize guns so the little people can't buy them anymore, while their left wing champions have armed bodyguards.
