Biden Wrong on Police Deaths
We all know that Biden and Feinstein were using misinformation but maybe this article by Fact Check will help convince people that don't follow the issue:
link In an online interview promoted by the White House, Vice President Joe Biden made the false claim that “there were fewer police being murdered … when the assault weapons ban, in fact, was in existence.” But the FBI statistics on killings of law enforcement officers show no such trend.... |

When they make a mistake, it's "misinformation." When they lie, and they know full well that they are lying, it's "DISinformation."

Successful propaganda does not have to be truthful, it just has to work for the time frame needed. The antigunners have a short time period to ram through gun bans, such as Como in New York, so they are going to do the most they can to create negative impressions about guns and gun ownership. Ok, so the VP lied. Hundreds of millions saw his lie, it was on National Media, and hundreds of millions believe what he said because he is an authority figure, a celebrity. Saturate the public with enough lies in a short enough period and you can get any legislation you want through Congress. Anyone remember that bit about “weapons of mass destruction” and Saddam Hussein? I still run into people who believe that Saddam stashed nukies and chemical weapons out in the desert sands of Iraq, and they are still beneath the sand dunes.

Mark Twain is supposed to have said something like, "If you don't read the news you are uninformed. If you do read the news you are misinformed."
So this isn't anything new. You just have to deal with it. |

Joe "The Sheriff" Biden misinformed? Who'd a thunk it?
That's the problem when you have a complicit media. Politicians can get away with saying anything. On a more personal note, I lost two good police officers that I directly supervised during the assault weapons ban. I lost one to a .22 revolver, and I lost one to a knife. |

Honestly the second they put Joe "I could mess up a snow cone" Biden as the point man for Gun Control i felt a little bit better. They said Bush was not very well spoken, Biden makes Bush look like Plato!

We don't need to start an Iraq misinformation and stupid decision thread. Thus, those posts were deleted.
BTW - talking to an LEO yesterday as he showed me his duty AR - he thought the AWB was baloney.
