Myth 2: Gun ownership is declining.

Myth 3: Guns allow people to kill themselves much more easily.

Myth 4: Background checks stop mass pubic shootings.

Myth 5: Academics think that gun control reduces crime.

Here’s a myth about gun control that supercedes all others: that the States are free to regulate guns as they choose. But the Second Amendment is a national liberty guaranteed by the Constitution that each State ratified and agreed to. The phrase “a free State” refers to the free State of the United States since no individual colony/state was “free” upon ratification of the Constitution that bound them together. To accept the myth of State regulation you must accept that all other Amendments are also subject to individual State regulation.

“disarming the public will make us safer”

Au contraire Pierre. It will only make the perps safer.

The push to disarm Americans, such as Pamela and Mark McCloskey of St. Louis, stems from the belief that disarming the public will make us safer.


Actually, that incident was about making violent protesters allied with the DA feel safer - not the populace as a whole - and to further intimidate those who have contrary positions to that DA.

He lost me in the first sentence...it’s Patricia not Pamela. I think that qualifies for fake news.
