My perception of facts is my own. I need not justify it to anyone,

least of all an opponent of the First Amendment such as yourself.

I have in no way denied your right to free speech. I merely pointed out that what you claim was opinion was actually phrased as an evidence-based statement of fact, yet you decline to identify that evidence.

I'm pretty sure you'd be happier posting on a pro-gun website that allows no alternate opinions or questioning of the party line.

I'm sure you'd be happier if I didn't question your particular version of the party line. Are you starting to see the irony here? First Amendment and all that?
