No, now tell the truth, Alex Sitz-Bath, although I realize that's hard for Salon writers. We, that is, "the gun lobby," appropriately acted defensively to protect ourselves from financing abusive bureaucrats who telegraphed their propaganda agenda and goals for all to see:

Probably the same one that has you identifying yourself as a "political reporter" instead of a Ministry of Truth functionary...?
