You poor misled soul. The Second Amendment Foundation did not use the term 'inconvenient truth. It was the headline and lead written by the Examiner website. You cannot get anything right, can you? Here is the headline of the release from the Second Amendment Foundation:

MURDER DOWN, GUN SALES UP; PROOF THAT GUNS DON’T CAUSE CRIME: SAF
For Immediate Release: 12/21/2009
BELLEVUE, WA – A ten percent drop in murders during the first six months of this year at a time when gun sales were up dramatically is more proof that there is no correlation between gun ownership and violent crime, the Second Amendment Foundation said today.
The FBI released data Monday that shows murders dropped by 10 percent from the same period in 2008. Meanwhile, according to data released by the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) shows that during the first six months of this year, gun sales were up. January 2009 background checks rose 28.8 percent over the same month in 2008, February’s NICS checks were up 23.3 percent and in March they were up 29.9 percent over March 2008. The trend continued in April, with NICS checks up 30.3 percent, while May showed a slowdown, up only 15.5 percent, and in June they were up 18.1 percent.
“What this shows,” said SAF Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb, “is that gun prohibitionists are all wrong when they argue that more guns result in more crime. Firearms in the hands of law-abiding citizens are no threat to anyone. Perhaps violent criminals were actually discouraged by all of those gun sales earlier this year, because the media made a point of reporting the booming gun market...
There is no use of the word inconvenient in the ENTIRE PRESS RELEASE. Why is it that you keep getting so many things so bone-achingly wrong time after time after time?
Because practice makes perfect.
Mark, you’re wasting our time again.
I gave you an example of the phrase “inconvenient truth” used, not from a liberal perspective, but from a conservative pov.
Every assault you’ve leveled at Bible-believing Christians has been refuted with evidence.
Your habit is to ignore the evidence and declare yourself the victor. Much like a six-year-old.
Thankfully, we can all read the thread and know the truth.
And FYI - using words like “cow manure” isn’t appropriate behavior on the Religion Forum. Your previous posts which used words like that have been pulled.
Try to learn and do better.
