Top 10 Most Ridiculous Anti-Gun Moments of 2017


The left has come up with some absurd arguments against the second amendment over the past year.

Here’s a look back at some of the most ridiculous.

1. When CBS News just made things up to scare people

“Automatic rounds” are not “perfectly legal,” mainly because they don’t exist.

2: When actor Dave King suggested banning pizza.

Besides apparently making up his “statistic” on the spot, King suggested that banning anything can be justified. What about swimming pools or cars?

3: When this liberal radio host didn’t know anything about guns or the Bible.

Seriously. The First Commandment? If Miami talk show host Grant Stern didn’t know what it was, which he obviously didn’t, it would have taken him mere seconds to look it up.

This clearly shows how little research liberals are willing to do in order to justify their arguments.

4: When this broadcaster forgot about facts

This from somebody whose Twitter bio says he’s an “educator.” But is it really that hard?

Fact-check — false:

5: When Geraldo Rivera inadvertently explained why ignorance promotes fear

In fact, the sale of fully-automatic weapons to civilians has been banned since 1986, suppressors don’t “silence” gunshots like they do in James Bond movies, and the Second Amendment doesn’t “suck.”

Apparently, when you think like a ten year-old, you talk like one too.

6: When New York Times Magazine’s Ana Marie Cox said its easier to buy a gun than vote.

Another fact-checking fail. Some states are pushing to require photo ID for voting, but liberals say that’s oppressive because it costs a whopping eight dollars or so to get an ID.

Never mind the fact that you need an ID and a background check to purchase a gun, and voting is as easy as saying your name.

7: When actress Patricia Arquette forgot that murder is illegal.

Whoa, really?

She is right, of course, but did she actually think she was making a point? If so, what was it?

8: When David Frum claimed that responsible gun owners were a myth.

So one third of Americans are gun totting idiot criminals, are they? Frum must think that a little thing called research is also a myth.

You may recall that David Frum was once a speechwriter for former President George W. Bush, and while he was always a moderate, he used to at least call himself a conservative. Whether or not he still does, it’s clear that these days he considers the liberal media his true home.

9: When CNN tried to explain bump stocks

There’s no bump stock on the rifle CNN displayed in this next example, but there is a grenade launcher. Oops.

CNN works hard to make bump stocks sound worthy of a ban, despite the fact that bump stocks simply bounce the trigger back against the finger, and the same effect can be achieved with a common rubber band.

The liberal mainstream media is notorious for screwing up even the most basic facts about firearms in their coverage of gun stories, but even by their usual standards, this one was incredibly idiotic (ignorance or dishonesty? We report, you decide.).

10: When this US Senator from Hawaii suggested a “new” law.

Just one thing: Lawmakers had the same idea in 1996, and it’s been on the books ever since.

When you have to lie and make things up to scare people, it’s probably because you’re on the wrong side of the argument.

H/T: Bearing Arms
