Gun-banners violate Americans’ constitutional liberties, imperil their lives and justify their actions with bogus statistics, junk science and outright lies.

However, most lies are constitutionally protected speech, and the way to defeat them is to refute them, not litigate them.

Depriving one of one's constitutional rights isn't about speech. The gun groups have been acting in concert with some legislators to deny us our rights. Conspiracy.

Lying in and of itself is protected speech; however, lying in the cause of frivolous lawsuits and conspiracies against civil liberties implicates you in those actionable activities.

[Poohbah]

Violation of civil rights under color of authority.

[GovernmentShrinker]

Yes; however when the lies are being deliberately and successfully used to advance legislation and litigation, refutation isn't enough.

While I generally agree with you there is no constitutional right to conspire to deprive Americans of their civil rights. This may provide the hook by which those people like Mayor dailey of Chicago can be brought to heel in the Federal Court system.
