If you trust Gawker for information relating to guns and self-defense, 'crap' is a good description

of what you'll get.  In this case on what they're hysterically calling the 'NRA-written warning shots bill!!'
The headline of the WFB piece, written by CJ Ciaramella, captures the gist of the matter succintly: ”Gawker Got Literally Everything Wrong About Florida’s New Warning Shots Bill.”

In reading the Gawker article by Adam Weinstein, one can’t help but wonder if the piece wasn’t the product of a bet challenging Weinstein to achieve utter perfection in getting every facet of the subject matter wrong.

From the headline–”The NRA Literally Wrote Florida’s New Bill to Legalize Warning Shots“–forward, about the only correct thing contained in the piece is the spelling of individual names.
Perhaps I should've said "... 'crap' is a clean description of what you'll get."


Disturbingly, Bob Owen at Bearing Arms seems to have swallowed the Gawker bait.  Someone did point out in comments that it's a load of garbage, hopefully he'll correct the post.


Speaking of bullshit, we have someone trying real hard for the McCarthy "Shoulder thing that goes up" crown, Californicated State Sen. Kevin de Leon:
I don't really know whether to describe him as an ignorant fool or a lying bastard. 

Of course, he could be both...

Gawker Media is crap.

Not just on guns or politics, but on everything.

No standards, no quality, pure clickbait and stupidity.

I refuse to patronize any Gawker Media site, knowingly.
