Yet another valid question for Debra Stevens, ye of “ravenous gun culture” infamy – how did I ever do it: get out alive after going to 25 (or much more) gun show without even a scratch on my ever delicate skin?

Are NH Democrats just Making Stuff Up about Background Checks?

September 26, 2018May 5, 2013 Steve MacDonald

There are more lies about background checks coming from the New Hampshire Democrat Party than truths and no polling can possibly explain the disparity unless the polls are flawed, skewed, or just made up.

Ninety percent of New Hampshire citizens cannot possibly be in favor of Manchin Toomey background checks when less than 90% of all Democrats are willing to push the meme themselves. And given that 100% of Democrats don’t agree with the narrative this makes the math required to justify the number impossible.

Carol Shea-Porter: too bright to be that stupid to get it wrong on background checks; so what is it?

On WMUR Channel 9’s Closeup this morning, Congressman Carol Shea-Porter (D-NH CD-1) decided that she was going to talk about gun control at gun shows and certainly made it clear that NO background checks happen at gun shows. Well, she may not be the brightest bulb in the lot, but she’s not the dimmest (damning with faint praise: that would go to Congressman Hank “Guam might tip over” Johnson before CSP could rise to take the prize), but one of these is true:

Maybe I HAVE judged her brightness wrongly?
Perhaps she is subject to that line “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt”
She is lying (employing the Saul Alinsky principle that “In the beginning the organizer’s first job is to create the issues or problems”?)

So, what is wrong? And where is she lying?

Guns or no guns; no safety or plenty safe?
