all of the info I posted. I had to look really hard to find the parts you mentioned. That's called cherry-picking. That's exactly what you did. Where did you find the part that says he "advocated using deceit to create support for gun control"? And you even admit, like I said, you are relying on your "personal beliefs". Also, it has been a number of years since any real data has been collected regarding gun violence because your friends at the NRA scream bloody fucking murder any time someone wants to study gun- related violence. Do you really mean to tell people that at least as many people every year stop a crime using a gun as there are crimes committed with a gun? You're serious? You really believe that?
