Gun Control & RKBA
Showing Original Post only (View all)Gun Control has devolved to absolute fabrication [View all]
They have literally retreated to their safe space that permits no debate in order to write complete works of fiction to where they set the terms of the debate, make themselves the hero, and insert whatever statements they want to make their counterparts appear foolish. They then pile in to congratulate themselves and grouse about having to defend their positions.
It's breathtaking just how sad this really is.
And though they will deny it, the debate isn't about the sky being blue, it's about their rose-colored glasses.
There is even a complaint about the posting of articles discussing string theory in physics, so deep is the epistemological closure.

Recounting the fact Bill Clinton signed a law they want reenacted is a RW smear?

Yes, its BS. "cop-killer hollowpoints" is exactly the kind of absolute fabrication the OP refers to.

Because of people who were fed misinformation, which led them to support the proposed laws.

I'm going to say some things but don't take my word for it. Poll my fellow RKBA advocates.

Good enough for Jimmy Carter to hire, thrown under the bus by The Controllers.

We've just been handed a prime example of how "gun control" relies on fabrication.
