Lawmaker gives Anti – 2nd Amendment Media a dose of their own medicine

Click here: Lawmaker proposes licensing and registry for journalists. A person seeking to become a journalist would have to register with the state as a journalist would have to submit to a criminal record background check and “an affidavit from the media outlet attesting to the applicant’s journalistic competence.”
State Press Association calls the proposed registry “ridiculous and totally unconstitutional,” said Bill Rogers, executive director of the S.C. Press Association.
“It strikes me as ironic that the first question is constitutionality from a press that has no problem demonizing firearms,” the Lawmaker said. “With this statement I’m talking primarily about printed press and TV. The TV stations, the six o’clock news and the printed press has no qualms demonizing gun owners and gun ownership.”
