It's not the strength of his facts as they support his arguements though.
Nope [img]smile.gif[/img] not lettin you get away with that one so easily . If the whole film was just this total fiction as the NRA people would have us believe then no matter how crafty the tissue is applied it can't cover the whole case of bananas. Ergo, there is more substance than the other side is prepared to concede [img]smile.gif[/img] .

You may like to believe he is misleading loads of people, but it is just as easy to make the claim that there are loads of people that refuse to be educated. Let's face it, the reality lies somewhere between the two, and it requires people to listen and apply reasoned judgement to really know where the balance lies. I think it is a reasonably valid statement to make that there are people in the NRA that are of the "cold dead hands" fervour that would totally fail in the listening department simply because you can present them all the facts in the world and they are going to reject them as lies because they just don't sit with the way they want to view the world. A large proportion of the debunk attempts I have seen are put together by these NRA fanatics, and they do their cause more harm than good because of their total lack of credibility.
