We all know that the mainstream media drives narrative as far as the terminology it uses ("arsenal," "deadly assault rifle," "high-powered rifle," "high-capacity magazines," etc., ad nauseum) but also with the gravitas displayed when reporting trivial things and things that seem normal to those of us within the gun culture.
Comes now the story about how CBP and DHS are keeping Mexico safe from Americans who would bring "massive amounts" of ammunition into that country.

Over 2000 rounds! Good heavensf This made national news on all the wire services and networks.
That might seem to the uninitiated and uniformed enough ammo to equip an entire company for battle, but we know this would simply be a good Saturday at the range out in the desert with our buddies and our dreaded "deadly assault rifles."
Is there a way to put this all into perspective and counter the over-the-top reporting of all things firearms-related by the media these days? I don't know, but it sure seems like our side is losing the publicity battle.
