Showing Original Post only (View all)3 Myths Gun Lobbyists Want The US Population To Believe As Fact [View all]
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 its a sacred cow, carrying loaded assault rifles in grocery stores to intimidate the publics mind on the issue.
