[Meanwhile, in the MSM...]
Wait a minute Mom. Don't let little Johnny go to his buddy Tommy's house. Tommy's parents are psychos that own -- **gasp** -- GUNS! This is the message that ABC is telling parents in an April 10 piece headlined, "Before Arranging Playdates, Ask About Guns."

It encourages parents to pry into the lives of family members of their kid's friends and bases it all on the lies passed off as scary gun violence statistics... [snip]

"Nearly 1.7 million children live in homes with firearms that are loaded and unlocked, and every day eight children die from guns."
