Is America's Most Wanted anti-2nd Amendment?

I just half-watched the lead story on America's Most Wanted about some "anti-gun" prosecutor in Washington who was murdered.

This story, and a lot of their others, always seem to lean toward an "anti-gun" view--it's subtle, but persistant.

Does anybody know John Walsh's, and other's associated with the show, views on "gun control"? Anything like reveiling past statements they've made?

    I changed the channel as soon as I saw the previews. John Walsh seems to me to be at the least biased against firearm ownership. I don't recall him ever advocating a victim defending themselves. I will concede the show by it's nature would require defensless victims. Hard to become "most wanted" when your intended victim shot you dead.

    Some reading this post may find this link interesting.

    Funny -- I was just watching another show tonight recounting the Gainesville "ripper" murders. It described how all the students armed themselves -- guns, ballbats, kitchen knives, rolling pins. Boys guarded the girls' dormitory halls with golf clubs and bats. Of course the violence stopped. Arms are good when you might be the next victim. Most people's trouble is that the world is generally more dangerous than they are willing to believe. This helps keep a lot of people sane, I suppose, but for those of us whose constitutions can accept not living in 'condition white' (as I believe Jeff Cooper describes oblivion to one's surroundings), arms are not as foreign a concept as they are to those who feel safe virtually all the time.

    Hi Evil,

    Hadn't seen you here for a bit (but then I could have missed posts you've made, as I'm not having time to read all the posts).

    I did catch AMW on the 13th too and saw that; I wasn't familiar with Steve Anderson, but they were claiming he was a bad guy because he was against the government destroying liberty. They seemed to throw-in the "alleged" shoot-out he had with a police officer as a "side issue"--the REAL reason he was so "dangerous" was because he believed in liberty and thought the Federal Government was destroying it.

    That's another example which leads me to question John Walsh's "goals"--he/the program really seems intent on "glorifiying" all of government, and anybody who is identified as being in disagreement with the government is "a dangerous scum-bag we really need to get off our streets..."

    In my opinion Joh Walsh got out of bounds along time ago.

    The worst thing is that the police are going to waste all their time looking for some law-abiding "pro gun" person, who didn't want his legal second amendment rights to be criminalized, that they're going to let the the guy that shot him, some felon that this guy convicted (who already couldn't legally own a gun), get away.

    This guy was a prosecutor! He made a living by pissing off a lot of very bad people. And then he made frequent anti-gun statements that indicated that he wouldn't have a firearm to defend himself if someone wanted to walk right up outside his office window and shoot him. In the words of Homer Simpson, "DOH!"

    Now his anti-gun confederates claim that his death supports their case. I'm sorry the man died but I think it makes just the opposite point. Laws won't take the guns away from the criminal. A man who will murder isn't worried about laws. This is another case where a handgun is a lot better defense than a handgun law!

    So, just how does rendering me defenseless protect you from violent criminals?
