How to Spread a Lie and Subvert Freedom in Three Easy Steps

Step One: Anti-gun "researchers" publish an agenda-supporting "study" concluding access to firearms puts women at higher risks for homicide than men.

Step Two: "Authorized Journalists" pick up on it and conflate "access" with "ownership."

Step Three: Evangelize the gospel throughout the land.

By lumping peaceable and responsible people who control themselves in with those who are violent and irresponsible, the "average" is inflated, caused almost entirely by the latter group.

That's then used to con the public into supporting the disarming of those not hurting anyone via edicts that will not affect those responsible for the abuse.

Oh, and Scott Martelle...? It's not a hobby, you idiot.
