Power Panel with Cenk, Ben, Jimmy Dore and John Iadarola. CNN does coverage of the VA shooter with references that the shooter operated gay websites.  Guns are not the reason for violent crime. It’s the crime itself.  England, Japan, and Netherlands have low crime rate.  In the states, we have more deaths because of an iron object that is used upon the crime. If guns are everywhere it is possible that more people will die in a violent crime.

Power Panel with Cenk, Ben, Jimmy, and Ana. John Felton was pulled over because he didn’t signal early enough. But the truth is the police said he made direct eye contact.  17 years old was sentenced to 11 years to prison because of his support of ISIS.
