John Stossel Takes on Gun Control AND Glogal Warming!
Well, I was relaxing the other night and I was watching some interesting YouTube videos and I came across some interesting investigative reporting by John Stossel. Can you imaging taking on gun control AND global warming? Well, check these segments out:
- Here, John makes some interesting points about how crime rates actually rise when the guns are taken away from the citizens!
- Can you believe he is actually taking on the animal of global warming? Go John!
I don’t always blog about controversal issues such as these but I found these videos interesting and worth the conversation. OK, so what do you think? Gun control, great idea? or taking rights away? Global warming, inconvenient truth or convenient lie? You start the conversation in the comments!

The answer to Stossel’s question at 4:05 that he wanted to ask Gore can be found in the April 27 2007 post and followup discussion at

The movie on Gore is drama intended to grab attention and not detailed scientific review and thus is bound to be over the top in some places. The DVD of the film did have updates and clarification responses to the questions raised after the film came out. It would have been nice if Stossel had clarified exactly what critics he picked out backgrounds of expertise were and what the detailed scientific arguments were explained in way that the lay audience could understand why the critics are very much in the minority. Of course that would have taken up the whole 20/20 show and then some and would not have made for good theater.
