18. The moral preogatives of gun prohibition encourage, nay, require...

...distortion, bad facts, gut-bucket statistics, fabrication, spam, and confusion.

Just a reminder of the standard set by gun-banners:

"Assault weapons—just like armor-piercing bullets, machine guns, and plastic firearms—are a new topic. The weapons' menacing looks, coupled with the public's confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons—anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun—can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons. In addition, few people can envision a practical use for these weapons." -- Josh Sugarmann, Violence Policy Center
