Page "The Bias Against Guns" Paragraph 5

Finally, Lott examines how the media systematically under reports the benefits of gun ownership.

He shows examples of stories where people, even children, have used guns to protect their families from intruders, which receive almost no media attention despite their sensational nature.

He also cites a story that gained national media attention in which students were able to stop a school shooting.

In almost every report, reporters not only neglected to mention that the students who stopped the shooting used guns to do so but also instead gave the impression that the perpetrator was tackled.
