NEW YORK -- Gun enthusiasts have plenty of options for industry news and firearms reviews. And the National Rifle Association boasts its own media arm to amplify any perceived threats against Second Amendment.
What’s missing in the gun-media landscape, say founders of The Trace, is a news outlet devoted to the prevention of violence.Oh! So, Bloomberg hasn't financed enough "Gun Violence" websites, clubs, pseudo-representatives and shills yet?
Guess Not. There are never too many paid employees when you're trying to establish a false front for political goals.
Enter ... "The Trace":
“We believe that the rate of gun violence is too high and we believe that there is not enough information about the issue as a whole,” editorial director James Burnett told The Huffington Post in an interview. “As journalists, we have it as our mission to address that shortage of information.”
"Journalists?" I thought that encompassed those who could hold down a job in the .. you know .. "Journalism" milieu. Apparently, this guy can't hold down a job:
Burnett, who left The New Republic a few months ago following a staff exodus, said The Trace will not publish editorials supporting specific legislation or candidates. But the site will operate from the standpoint that there are "too many people being killed and injured by guns," he said.(Burnett was so valued by TNR that his web record enumerates all of his many accolades. There were none.)
We're grateful to the man who can't hold a job at The New Republic for providing valuable and ... "unbiased" ... reporting.
...
Getting back to the point that "the rate of gun violence is too high" ...That's a big DUH ... yes, we agree. And the reason why too many people are being killed and injured by guns is that they have been intimidated by leftists to NOT establish their own personal defense practices.
Bloomberg has enlisted the help of "independent" news sources to promulgate his views:
The Washington Examiner:
The Huffington Post:
Obviously, these 'independent news sources' have no agenda which might be interpreted as a "slant" on their reporting.
Bloomberg has his own agenda: it is that if you can't afford to hire guns, you shouldn't have a gun.

What they don't say: If all the guns were taken from a particular minority group and they were to stop killing each other, our rate of gun violence would be one of the lowest in the world, on a per capita basis.
Yep. The Left just loves to compare America's homicide rate (3.8/100,000) to Britain's (0.6/100,000) and say we have too much gun violence.
What they don't show or say is that if you remove inner-city gang violence from the figures -- just cut out the numbers for New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Atlanta, and St. Louis -- our homicide rate drops to ... ~0.7/100,000. Right in line with Britain's.
The problem is not guns; it never has been guns. The problem is criminal gangs operating in open defiance of the law and a revolving-door criminal "justice" system that allows repeat offenders to repeatedly offend.
The above just goes to show you cannot trust the anti-gun bunch to tell it like it really is.
