June is Gun Violence Awareness Month, an important time to highlight a growing problem we have in this country. Some consider gun violence to be a public health epidemic, and the stats give a pretty good indication why.

But, “gun nuts” and lobbyists are trying to dissuade public opinion on the issue of guns. They hide behind the Second Amendment like it’s a sacred cow, carrying loaded assault rifles in grocery stores to intimidate the public’s mind on the issue.

Yet, even responsible gun owners and a majority of NRA members believe in a comprehensive expansion of some gun regulation.

It’s important this month to realize many of the claims gun lobbyists throw out there are pure bunk. Here are three myths gun zealots often toss around, and why they’re absolute rubbish.
