131. Hey, you asked me about examples of pro-gun lies.

I gave you not just any examples, but examples that were posted (twice) here on DU, and which were a big hit with many of the regular pro-gunners here.

And my point wasn't about Larry Bell as much as it was about the tendencies of pro-gunners here to lap up any piece of pro-gun propaganda no matter how obviously false it is. And the irony when the same people get all nitpicky about details like what "loophole" means.
