Why Does GunFacts Contain No Facts?

Filed under: Uncategorized

The youthful and dishonest Michael Hawkins pointed me to a website called “Gun Facts.” It claims, among other things to:

debunks common myths about gun control. It is intended as a reference guide for journalists, activists, politicians, and other people interested in restoring honesty to the debate about guns, crime, and the 2nd Amendment.

Sadly, it contains many lies, distortions, misrepresentations and cherry-picking. There’s also a marked tendency of the author to heavily rely on John Lott’s dubious research. In the future, I shall expose each and every one.

Just as a quick, drive-by debunking, many of his quotes towards the end of his e-book are bogus and/or have been taken out of context. I’ve debunked several of them previously.
