Silencing the Guns

119. Disappointing.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the pro-gunner omerta in action. Rather than acknowledge out the obvious falsehoods and lies from a Forbes article from a fellow pro-gunner's OP, instead we get tap-dancing and equivocating.

It's funny how y'all get so nitpicky when it comes to a "clip" versus a "magazine", or the definition of a "loophole", but when it comes to very fundamental lies about DGUs and NCVS and the like, you start with the excuses and the "reasonable questions".

The Forbes article didn't raise "reasonable questions". There may be some other reasonable questions that can be asked about NCVS, but the Forbes OP didn't ask them, instead it made a bunch of obviously false statements. And yet, despite the obvious lies, it was posted twice as an OP, and received favorably by the pro-gunners here. Is there not anyone on the pro-gun side with a little intellectual integrity?

Too bad, really. You had a chance to say "look, I support gun rights, but this Forbes article is complete garbage, and even though it was posted by my fellow pro-gun DUer, I'm not going to sit here and make excuses for it. After all, if I'm going to criticize the Brady Bunch for misusing the term "loophole", I've gotta be consistent and at the very least call out any gross factual errors by people on my side".

But you didn't. Instead you "stood by your man". Such a shame...
