=================
Sorry, but you don't get off the hook by claiming hyperbole at this
juncture. Your clear claim, in context, was that one could buy a
"wicked
assault weapon" at the corner convenience store with no more scrutiny
or
difficulty than that of buying a pack of gum. That's a lie. You did not
qualify your statement by saying that it was your opinion that guns are
too
easy to acquire at the time. Now that you've been caught, you're trying
to
backpedal.

You could just admit that you were wrong.
================

In this context, there is nothing wrong with stating that a particular
comment, made earlier, was hyperbole. Why can you not accept that.
Could it be because, when you make such statements, you don't have the
jam to just say "hey, it was a figure of speech" or "I exaggerated to
make a point" or "It was poetic licence". No, you just keep defending
your dumb-assed statements. I think everyone following this thread
understood perfectly well what KMAN intended with his statement. Sure,
it was a mild case of hyperbole, but he got his point across. Why don't
you deal with the larger issue instead of nit-picking.
