Deception

It occurred to me.

Anti-gun folks on TV, in the paper, on the internet.  They never tell the truth.  Never.  Not fully.  They might throw out a statistic that is factually true, by itself, but everything, literally EVERYTHING, is presented in a way that has the purpose to deceive.

"Conceal Carriers are dangerous killers.  Here is statistics of their body count."  And while the number is as close to factual and you sorta cannot quibble with the total, included in that total are suicide (killed someone, huh?), and CCW peeps that bashed someone's head in with a bat.   So ban guns.

"30,000 gun deaths!"  Yeah, 2/3rds are suicide by firearm.  Not good, but also no murder.  So ban guns!

"Military style assault weapon murders are up!" Well, coverage in the news is certainly way up.  But so called assault-weapons kill fewer people than kicks to the head every year, and murders are down by half in 30 years.  But by all means, sensationalize stuff to make it seem a crisis where it isn't.  AND BAN GUNS!

I can't remember a time, an instance, ever, in the past 15 years where anti-gunners didn't straight up tell the truth with no purposes of deception.  The closest they get is when they stick to feelings and subjective emotion and include no objective facts in their argument, "Guns scare me, I feel like they should be banned."

There is not factual objective cite to draw upon to make their argument because they haven't made one.  Ever.  Not just since I've been paying attention.  EVER.  Since 1968, since 1934.

Their arguments are way too weak.  And they never even try to exploit the few weaknesses on our side. 

What weaknesses?  You know them, but I'm not going to state them out loud.  The weaknesses are minor, but why leave ANY ammunition lying around for the enemies of rights and freedoms to just pick up and turn against u?

While this is a little out of date, it is still on point when it comes to suicides. Suicide vs “Gun-death” Suicide.

When the Left starts talking about guns and suicide, they never count all suicides, just gun death suicides, because if you count all such deaths, and you look at Canada, their arguments implode.
