This website’s called The Truth About Guns. But the name is deceptive. While myself and the other writers do our best to tell the truth about guns, we are ready, willing and able to accept the fact that we may be totally wrong. About anything. That’s how you get to the truth: by remaining alert to alternative points of view. Comparing, contrasting, debating and modifying your views as and when you realize you’re a big dope, really. In the gun world, there are plenty of “absolutists.” People who believe that Americans have the right to bear arms and . . . that’s it. While they respect laws against criminal acts (and how), they believe that U.S citizens should be able to buy, own and carry any weapon anywhere anytime for any reason. Debate over. Backing away from that, there’s the gun owning right wing . . .
