Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Gunsplaining to conservatives [View all]gejohnston
(17,502 posts)28. You clearly missed the point
        Public policy should be based on facts and reason and nothing else.  Gun control activists fail to make such arguments.  All of them are fallacious and dishonest.  They are also illiberal.  
This is a fake stat that has been disproved many times. Obama used it. As always happens, the anti-gun advocates simply wont play fair and try to win this policy debate using facts and reason. They always default to emotionalism, fear-mongering, dishonest journalism (Ill be writing about CNNs disastrous town meeting later), lies, distortions, and fake statistics. When the emotional rush of the particular tragedy is over, and non-substantive cries like Never again!, Your right to own a gun shouldnt trump a childs right to live!, Do something! and Kill the NRA! lose their power to persuade people no longer in grade school, sufficient numbers of citizens stop and think, You know what? We cant trust these people! They lie.
