He believes what the media has told him because he has no other reference.
Juan Williams was on Fox yesterday reading the gun laws in Nevada and he acted like it was the wild west. He said you don't have to have a permit to buy a gun in Nevada and that machines guns were allowed with a permit. In reality these are the federal gun laws that are the same in almost all the states. You don't have to have a permit, but you have to have a background check (even though he failed to mention that). But the way he portrayed it was that you just walked in, picked one up off the shelf, and they scanned it on the way out. And I assure a ton of viewers watched that and said well that's not right. We need to fix that. If that's how they are being portrayed on Fox News, I can't imagine what its like on MSNBC.
