Surrounding states must strengthen their gun laws to match New Jersey's if violent crime in the Garden State is going to be reduced, a group of county prosecutors said Thursday.Yeah, either that or you guys can go to hell.
Great "objective reporting" there, "Staff Writer" Carolyn Salazar. You quote the prosecutors, skim convenient data from a BATFU slide show (but omit the inconvenient factoid that "average time-to-crime" in New Jersey is 11.52 years), work in a sound bite from a local citizen disarmament zealot, and even point to Mayor Bloomberg's illegal strong arm tactics as the way to achieve an agenda. Your readers would never know there are competing arguments, so you've served the cause well.
You ought to make "Senior Authorized Journalist" in no time.

I sent a rebuttal to the reporter, which is too long to post here. I'm not holding my breath until the publication of a more balanced followup, but it's still important to respond to such misinformation in a timely (and polite) manner.
