Is it just a coincidence, or is Fox News pushing the same RW tripe, with the rest of the media lapping it up. As for the gun control angle, perhaps they could use the facts that come out to further craft the gun control bill. Afterall, a 19 year old who is too young to drink is old enough to pack heat without any additional safeguards? It does not make sense.
