We gun owners and the NRA still control the gun control debate, mostly because we’ve all proven that we’re the only ones telling the truth. The gun grabbers have a habit of making shit up about us that they can’t substantiate, but it plays to the crowd that they’re trying to influence. Like the ditz who went out and bought a gun without even knowing how to load it, let alone how to aim and fire it, thinking that her inexperience said more about us than her side of the discussion spectrum.<\/p>\n
For about the last year, we here at TAH have almost daily posted “Feel Good Stories” which reported the legal use by private citizens of firearms to protect themselves, their families and the property. Out of those hundreds of stories that we posted, only one proved to be false – it was false even though we verified it through three local news stations and only because some mentally deficient guy made a false report to police.<\/p>\n
Lately, though, I’ve seen false reports spring up all over the internet, especially in the last two or three weeks. Stories about an old lady blowing away two kids who were playing knockout, stories about various governments seizing weapons from legal gun owners, you know stuff like that. You’ve seen them, too. <\/p>\n
But, we track the stories back to their sources and they’ve all proved to be false, made up by creative writers, and many track back to the same blogs or websites over and over. Some doofus will write a story in a forum and the whole world wants to link to it, because it says what we want to hear. Like the gun grabbers believe everything that they like to hear. <\/p>\n
As TAH has proven with our “feel good stories”, there’s enough real evidence that responsible gun owners are saving themselves and their families from evil doers that we don’t need to make stuff up. Yet, here are people making stuff because they want to influence the discussion, but untrue stories don’t really prove anything, except that some of the people on the internet are irresponsible. Just because you can supply a link, that doesn’t make the story true. And it proves that both extremes of this gun control debate aren’t above making shit up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
