Facts versus opinion and generalities

To The Eagle:

Recently there has been quite a bit of discussion in the area of gun control and assorted other political footballs.

One thing I have been observing is that those who are opposed to things like the Bill of Rights and Constitution are fond of using statements about what might happen rather than sticking to facts, statistics and matters of record. I am not going to get into any of that debate here. I will say I support the Bill of Rights and Constitution and do my best to live up to those standards.

So what is my point? Glad you asked! Beware of people who use general statements, especially if they are intended to cause upset in an attempt to take your rights away. Their lies wither in the face of the truth! Seek the truth always! Ignore those who spout generalities and bad news in an attempt to persuade others to their way of thinking.

Stick to your guns, so to speak. Oh my! Did I say that?
