You are both right. 1859 is right in that most people (not just a gun owners) dont know how to deal with the media. They just open their mouths and let what ever is on their minds flow, or worse they think they are clever and try to BS their way through an interview or even worse, try to manipulate the manipulators (AKA the media).
Then jman brings up the question of what are we supposed to when confronted by the media. I think the best answer is to refer the journalist to our public affairs office (what you don't keep some one retainer )? This is where we all need a crash course in speaking to the media and even more importantly, what not to say.
Now if there was only a media primer that we could review and practice, so that if one is approached by the media, they can put their best foot forward so that it reflects well on the entire firearms community.

The point is to remind people on Capitol Hill who they work for.
