A member of the group New Yorkers Against Gun Violence (NYAGV) recently penned a newspaper opinion piece on the upcoming deadline for recertifying handgun licenses in New York State. Titled, “Gun recertification a step for safety, not confiscation,” the writer ridicules New York State handgun owners as being “‘up in arms’ again over the fact that they have to recertify” their eligibility to possess a handgun. For “too many gun owners,” he adds, “any gun safety legislation is wrong, viewed as the camel’s nose in the tent of gun confiscation.” He concludes by expressing his disgust at what he calls “…the mindless fealty to the NRA and its affiliates’ spin that all gun laws are unconstitutional and will lead to confiscation. There are 300 million guns in our country; do the math. No one is coming for your guns.” Every person is entitled to his or her own opinion, of course, but facts are a different matter.

With 42 states and the District of Columbia now recognizing the Right-to-Carry, California’s retrograde may-issue Carry Concealed Weapon licensing regime is atypical. However, a recent state audit of three of California’s CCW license issuing authorities shows that Los Angeles County does operate much like another large jurisdiction, New York City, when it comes to granting licenses. That is, licenses are reserved for the well-connected and officials don’t bother to follow the rules when issuing them.

In short, for them to secure their agenda, they have to ask people to do some really silly, unnatural things of serious consequence. Telling the truth isn’t going to cut it. They can’t be responsible for anything—including something as fundamental as their own personal safety—so how can they be responsible for the things they say?

While democrat presidential hopefuls ramp up for their first debate on CNN tonight, we thought we would go ahead and combat the anti-gun lies we know the usual suspects will try to perpetuate to the American public. The list below is far from complete, but some of the candidates have spent so much time touting the same anti-gun rhetoric over and over again, it wasn't tough narrowing it down to the top 5 we think they'll highlight in tonight's democratic debate.

In the wake of the tragic Newtown massacre, we’re hearing all the usual lies and misconceptions about firearms. And since it’s wise to be educated on a topic before advocating policy on it, this is a good time to explode the gun myths being bandied about. by Selwyn Duke

It takes six months in America to get an X-ray, but you can buy an AR-15 immediately. That is one of the lies pushed by gun control advocates in the United States. It is easier to buy a gun in the...
