While this piece is factually correct, CEOs did send a letter, this quote shows the slant of the reporter, "Their plea, which follows the recent rash of mass shootings, is among Corporate America's strongest statements yet against America's gun violence epidemic." Unless the author would use "epidemic" to describe auto accidents and swimming pool deaths, he's writing from an agenda and not a desire to report facts.

Everything in this story appeared to be a factual summary of the positions taken by notable figures in American life. Yes, these figures have banded together to take a political position that obviously is not today's consensus. I cut my rating from 5 stars because the cynic in me wants to see something more concrete than high-minded concerns. There is no indication of what regulations, taxes, business changes or anything else that these execs would be willing to suffer in order to have the outcomes they call for. But I have no doubt these businesspeople want to get the message out that they are aligned with efforts to cut violence. The story has a couple of useful points such as definition of red-flag laws that some readers will appreciate knowing, regardless of their personal beliefs about the benefit or harm of new laws along those lines.

The article simply reports on a recent letter by CEO's calling upon Congress to enact greater gun control laws. Although it's mostly reporting on the letter's details, it does feel overall to be a bit one-sided, framing the CEO's actions as urgent and neccesary, without any opposing view points mentioned.

This story is one sided, and does not present information from the opposing point of view.
