  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

He literally said that gun deaths are the price we have to pay for a free society.

I geuss the medal is for his contribution to that cause??

IIRC medals can't be made of lead
