Apologies to moderator: this is not entirely appropriate for
this newsgroup, but I would like to call people's attention
to this program.  The CBS News program "48 Hours" is
about to spend an entire hour on handguns.  With a title
like "High Noon for Handguns" you can get a feel for
what the slant of this show is going to be (hopefully
I'll be wrong on this one, but I'm not holding my breath).
This may turn out to be as notorious as their (in)famous
"Guns of August" program years ago...followups to t.p.g.,
of course.  I believe the program airs at 10:00pm E.D.T.

[MODERATOR:  No apology needed, brief announcements are within bounds.
This is a good "heads up".   Follow up discussion concerning what I also
think is going to be pure propaganda (the promos on this are already
looking bad) should go to t.p.g. of course.]
