6. Nah, Gun Owner Shaming is the only objective, not reality

If they actually cared about anything vaguely approaching reality or truth, they might actually want to know how many times a gun was involved in a defensive situation where no shots were fired and nobody died.

Then they would go to a number of unbiased sites like the CDC and others and when they find out that the number of DGU is like 20+ to 1 versus crimes, their whole narrative would go as flat as the "The CDC can't do any gun research" lie.

Gun control fans are big on supporting myths. But they have lots of "studies" and "research" to support their myths. Mostly funded by a racist Billionaire, but lots of "unbiased" studies proving the myths.

Another great myth they and their media bootlickers love. There were estimated to be 300 million guns in the US 20 years ago and that's pretty much the number they still use, even with record NICS checks every month. Unless they assume that firearm are like bananas and get old and thrown out at the rate of a million or so a month?

They do loves them some myths.
