Did an AP Reporter Let His Anti-Gun Bias Show? Check Out the Gun Control Bingo Sheet He Called ‘Awesome’

While covering the Colorado state Senate debates over sweeping gun control legislation on Friday, Colorado-based Associated Press political reporter Ivan Moreno took time out to tweet an “awesome” and wildly anti-gun bingo sheet.

The ever-vigilant Michelle Malkin caught the tweet:

Here’s the original:

As you can see, the bingo sheet mocks so-called pro-gun arguments, some of which are completely absurd. So each time a witness brings up one of the topics on the bingo sheet, participants, like this AP reporter, are supposed to cross out the related box.

“NRA reference,” one box says. “FALSE CLAIM: ‘This is just an emotional response’,” says another.

Once called out by Malkin and her website Twitchy.com, Moreno then attempted to distance himself from the bingo sheet. “The sheet is at the press table, I didn’t create it. Just pointing out,” he tweeted. The sheet was apparently created by several anti-gun groups in Colorado.

“Thanks for making my rights a game,” one Twitter user replied.

    People didn’t give a hoot in hell about guns or who buys what until Hollywood and Left Media made being “anti-gun” the “coolest thing since the Atkins Diet”. Once the hype has gone the way of **** bleaching, these people will go right back to not thinking twice about gun control.

    This entire Country is made up of Lemmings. Just have to be on the “cool side” no matter how they truly feel, and keep the botox a comin in. If you step back and ‘really look’, it’s pretty easy to see why every Country hates Americans. Sad that we’ve all come to only being passionate about “who advanced on ‘Dancing With The Stars’”.

    In 2011, there were 356 people killed in the US by so called “assault rifles”. The US has 311,000,000 people living in it. That means that your odds of being killed by an “assault rifle” is .00000114. That number is so minuscule that I don’t even know how to pronounce it. It might be one millionth of a percent…..maybe less even, not sure.

    Why then are we even having this debate?

      It’s not about safety. It’s about removing firearms from the public so they can not fight against a corrupt governement

      Actually I believe that stat is all rifles, not “assault rifles”. So the stat is much lower than the already extremely low number you posted

      If right wing militias were prone to violence, geeks that work for the radically left Associated Press wouldn’t be walking around right now.

      But, on second thought, they probably won’t be when the SHTF, right along with the rest of the geeks in the MSM.

      If this country does erupt into austerity riots….. then even greater violence…… the leftist whackos won’t be able to find a hole deep enough to hide in.

    I’d like to know what arguments the pro-gun people are using that are ‘false claims’. There should be no need to make things up, like the left, anti-gun people do, there are almost infinite reasons to keep and bare arms.

      You are correct sir…..When will the NBP put down their weapons?…..When?….Never and that is why when you call on a hillbilly to hook up your power, you had better respect the fact that they need the constitution by their side….Enforce your crap bag laws..!!!

      I have always believed the the REDNECK army will save the USA. City People have looked down their noses at the good ole boys for a long time, treating them as less than. Believe me tho that when the SHTF they (the big city people) will all run to the hills looking for safety and comfort. When that happens, I hope I don’t recognize anyone who Tried to take away my liberty because they won’t be at all happy with their past choices.

      We must take lessons from the liberal gangs such as Crips,Bloods, New Black panthers and Weatehr Underground and just not follow illegal laws that are unconstitutional. If politicians can ignore laws then they have broken the contract with the people and we can ignore them, isolate them, make them ilrelavant–wait isn’t that what Saul Alinsky taught. Use their rules against them folks, God is my boss and no one else, he gave me rights and only he cane remove them. Humans cannot remove your rights unless you allow them too.

    Liberals hate guns because they represent a simple truth: they are a basic key to GOD given freedoms and guns will always have a voice louder than any spew spreading, constitutional hating liberal. Things like this shake them to their very core and they just cant stand or handle that.

      Joy had to leave TV she is so blustered..
      None of us get a gun out here because we want to kill someone…we get a gun because we want to save someone.

      We are not the ones prancing around on stage for the whole world to see, we try and keep to ourselves.Something a limelight liberal is hard to understand. Liberals never need a conservative until he has a downed power line and the sun cannot recharge his solar powered sissy mobile.

      And besides I do believe it was GWB who said that terrorists are funded by porn, I dont know a porn producer, I don’t hear about porn in country music songs…..I do hear it in rap songs whenever I can drive myself to listen for a few minutes of rap…..So who in all actuality is destroying the foundation of America, the gun lovers out here who love our Constitution, or the drug infested date rape sites of bars and night clubs….Sounds like a pretty clear cut choice to me but then again I dont smoke weed and just for the record I never got the whole Chelsea Handler booze hag show either….The End

      There was a recent study that showed that carry concealed weapons permit holders in Texas were convicted of more violent crimes than those that didn’t. This was supposed to show that they were more likely to kill or harm others, which it did. They were only 4% more likely. What wasn’t reported about the study was, those people (CHL holders) were convicted of less than 1% of all crime in Texas. So, of the less than 1% crimes they are 4% more likely to be violent, and THAT’s the group you want to go after? How about the group that’s committing 99% of the crimes?

    It would be awesome if we had politicians that governed within the bounds of the constitution and stopped violating it on a daily basis. These anti-freedom anti-constitution dregs of society make me want to vomit on them,maybe that’ll make them stop their assault.

      The AP has meat puppets that spout the Dem talking points only. If Obama pulled his hand out of their ****, they would collapse like pinochio in the corner.

      As far as this “Debate” in Denver, the only hope we have is some Dems are starting to realize, the voters are mad, and we do have recall actions starting.
