Every day. The "good" handgun stories are far outnumbered by the "bad" ones. I really like the ones where a five-year old brings a Glock to his kindergarten class. Those are the best.
Because media with an agenda doesn't consider it newsworthy. Just as any good news out of Iraq, or from New Orleans during and after Katrina, was overridden by the bad.
