COMMENTS: Diane Debunks Firearms Defense
ABC substitute anchor Diane Sawyer carved out time to cross-promote her own 20/20 primetime documentary If I Only Had a Gun. Sawyer cited statistics that shooting sprees have killed 53 people nationwide just in the last month before raising the question: "Could an ordinary citizen count on being able to defend himself if he only had a gun?" She narrated footage of a simulation at Pennsylvania's Muhlenberg College--"Suddenly! The room under attack!"--that demonstrated how vulnerable one is even when carrying a concealed weapon. Then she offered a physiological explanation: "Your body undermines your decisions and your accuracy…Your hands have less blood. They are less dexterous. Your reactions are delayed."
