Gun owners have become all too familiar with two unfortunate facts of life in 21st-century America.
First, we know the mainstream media is not interested in reporting the facts when it comes to the Second Amendment.
Second, Everytown for Gun Safety’s Michael Bloomberg, and like-minded anti-gunners, will stop at nothing to destroy our freedoms. This alliance of ignorance and deceit employs distortion and even outright lies to pursue the ultimate goal of destroying private gun ownership. |

| I prefer to call it "astrobarf" since so much of its regurgitated. Nevertheless it does have some, (but apparently declining) impact on "low/no information" sheeple. Gun owner organizations and supporters need to bring more visceral and emotional arguments to the debate. Think "Dirty Harry" not John Lott. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
