What's particularly silly here is the idea that I would try to "fool" Scotty
"Gun Nut" Weiser regarding the process of purchasing a gun. Obviously
(OBVIOUSLY) I knew that Scotty would be familiar with what it takes to buy a
gun, since he brags about his own guns on a routine basis. I was must
pulling his chain about how easy it is to get a gun (and it IS pretty damned
easy!) by comparing it to buying gum. It's more like renting a tuxedo ;-)

The question is not what I know, it's what he knows. It's hardly uncommon
for know-nothing hoplophobes to spout anti-gun rhetoric and cite specious
anti-gun information without actually having a clue. It's commonplace for
such people to actually believe the line of crap they are fed by HCI and
other anti-gun groups.

It's my policy to challenge such specious claims whenever I see them,
because it's the best way to fight the "Big Lie" tactic of repeating a lie
often enough that it takes on the patina of truth.

But it's still a lie.
