Maybe this is news to no one but me;
Some time ago, I replied to a suggestion from this board to go to the Brady Campaign site to help skew a poll they were running. I gave them my junk email address to register. From time to time, they send me (slapping forehead,) junk email.
I actually opened one, and was um, not truly shocked, but a bit bemused to see this in their link about arming students in the wake of the WV shootings.
"Armed students? Armed teachers? That is the response of the gun lobby to the horrible massacre at Virginia Tech. Let's give everyone a gun and start the crossfire. The gun lobby is pushing legislation modeled after a law in Utah that prohibits colleges and universities from barring possession or use of firearms on campus. As a result of the law, 18-year-old kids could carry handguns to class, and kids even younger than 18 could possess AK-47 assault rifles with high-capacity magazines on campus. The gun lobby also wants to arm K-12 teachers."
Lie #1. Law-abiding gun owners don't START anything. They frequently END violent situation.
Lie #2. Lie #1 The 'gun lobby' wants to 'arm everyone'. None of us would ever encourage someone without the emotional and mental capacity to own a gun or use one defensively. Neither would we take away their choice. (Who are the liberals here again?"
Lie #3. The law in Utah is intended to force state employed officials at state owned and funded universities to follow the same state laws that everyone else in the state has to follow.
Lie #3. The Utah CCW age, (as it is in every other state I am aware of that requires a permit,) is 21, not 18.
I could further nitpick, but the point is, I expected to see some Michael Moore-style exaggeration, half-truth, exploited statistical grey-unknown area, and unfounded conclusions. This is flagrant lie.
That was paragraph one. Big surprise, paragraph two begs for (tax deductible) donations. Does anyone else want to see the IRS crawl through their records?
