That they're fabricated by paranoids who are willing to tell the occasional lie to get other people believe the rest of what they do. Meanwhile, those people believe his lies and make up a few of their own, even falsifying documentation for the cause.

This is how what you believe has been propagated. It's a process in the spread of conspiracy theories, and it happens in cults as well.

I also can't refute a paranoid schizophrenic when he says he's Napoleon reincarnated because I'm just that lame.

Do research on that quote you just made, and on others that you depend on at something besides propaganda websites. But beware, because the anti-gun side is hard at work with constant disinformation. (in case you don't know.)
