How is this fake news?
I didnt find it in the opinion section, although any article is an opinion my initial impression with this story was its the first mainstream news article about gun rights that gave gun owners a chance to speak.Yeah. It's not. It isn't news it's opinion and it is interesting and portrays us in a very different light.
How is this fake news?
Interesting article ,thank you for sharing.
I know that for every gun owner there is a different reason for owning a gun...And my reasons are no better than anyone else's.
I only own guns , because I can ... well that and the fact that I grew up around guns and have had fun with them.
I just don't view them like many folks in that article.
Sure I can protect myself with one ... But that is not the primary reason I own one
Defending against a unjust government? Yes ... But again not a big reason for me to have a gun.
Feeling a desire to own something that can also kill someone ?
Again not really part of my thinking...
As a kid , we owned guns more for the fun of it and the history behind them .. Guess that is still the biggest part of my thinking of why I own guns.
I would love to show her our collection of antique firearms and have her shoot a couple of them.
It would be nice for her to see , handle and shoot a part of history...
And to have her learn that guns also come in wood and steel , also that not every gun is a AR15 copy...
Nothing against those types of guns , just seemed like most of the pics in the article showed a gun like those types...

Because it's it's social commentary, not "World News" as it's categorized (and . . . it's CNN!)
I walk around with some trepidation, but I'm determined to strike up conversations. I begin with this question: "Why do you want to own an object that can kill another human being?"
How is it categorized? How is it social commentary?
the article is written by a CNN journalist, not an editorial or guest article...
ok got it now, that makes sense.The header shows: "CNN World" and her Bio states: "She loves to tell extraordinary tales about ordinary people." That is commentary, not news.
No shi . . ., um, kidding!ok got it now, that makes sense.
Im still surprised to see this article on CNN though, typically an anti-gun news site.
