EVERYONE IS WRONG PLEASE STOP SPEWING INCORRECT ASSERTIONS, PEOPLE.

Cool - I'd missed that a few months ago factcheck.org put out a big piece looking at misleading and misunderstood information from many different parties about guns and gun control. I picture them like a bookish fairy walking around with a wand hitting people. "you're wrong... and YOU'RE wrong... and you're wrong TOO!"

your mistake is assuming that any discussion about topics like this have anything to do with facts. It is (imho) almost always about emotion and fear.

That's why I like having facts and sources so I can print them out and whap people on the nose with it like naughty puppies. :)

emotion and fear

More like religion, or actually, deep disagreements on the proper relationship between individuals, society, and government.

Interesting link, thanks

I understand that factcheck.org got dinged a few times this past campaign season but at least they list their sources. I was also amused that organizations both pro- and anti- were reluctant to speak with them.

Damnation, it's gonna take me a while to read all this!
