In his new book, The War on Guns: Arming Yourself Against Gun Control Lies, John Lott methodically dismantles one popular gun-control myth after another. It has been said that a lie told often enough becomes the truth, and a similar phenomenon is overwhelming the gun debate in America. Oft-repeated untruths have formed common beliefs that often sway the debate about firearms. Gun-control advocates have learned that their exaggerated claims are likely to go unchecked by a largely sympathetic media, allowing them to control the narrative and shape public opinion.
What is more, as Mr. Lott explains, billionaire elitists like George Soros and Michael Bloomberg are spending hundreds of millions of dollars lobbying legislators, funding conclusion-driven research, developing grass-roots organizations, and literally training reporters to cover gun control issues the way they want them covered; the purpose being to negatively distort the publics view of firearms so that there is less resistance when gun rights are taken away. There is an astonishing amount of money being poured into the gun-control movement, and the success of the movement will ultimately depend on how the public perceives the issues meaning that facts are now more important than ever.

Another lie the ignorant anti-gun crowd like to spread is that semi-auto “assault rifles” are easily converted to fully automatic.
I have read on another public forum where an anti-gun critic claimed that an AR-15 can be converted to automatic by simply removing a pin. When I challenged him to provide proof, he said that he didn’t know where it was, but he was sure it was true because he read it on the Internet (probably from a liberal as ignorant as him).
Plz add me to your 2A ping list, brother.
