Detroit News' Dale Hansen Falls For Mother Jones' Anti-Gun Debunked Study

Dale Hansen, the Detroit News' reliably leftist columnist, falls for another lefty fraud that reinforces leftists' preconceptions about gun control:

The Detroit News: Better an unarmed survivor than a dead hero

He accepts without question Mother Jone's already debunked study that alleges a "good guy with a gun has never stopped a massacre".

Um, no, even the Weekly Standard points out this Mother Jones study is bunkum.

Is it True Armed Civilians Have Never Stopped a Mass Shooting?

Of course Mother Jones cooks the books right off the bat - 4 people have to be dead before any good guy can stop it to count as a good guy stopping a mass shooting according to their methodology. So, if you prevent any deaths from happening, or stop the bad guy after only 1 to 3, it doesn't count.

Think about the inanity of that qualifier.

Hansen of course could have found this out in 5 seconds or less using teh Google, but he has an agenda to push, not facts.

He then ends his idiotorial with another bald faced lie, this time of his own making:

You don’t have to support a repeal of the 2nd Amendment to recognize that in most states you are required to present more information to vote or own a car than you need to purchase a gun.

Wait a minute, I thought even the idea of showing ID before voting was verboten to Hansen and those like him. Clearly, Hansen has never heard of things like Form 4473, NICS checks and the like, nor the fact that you can indeed privately buy a car from someone without any id at all, and that you can register to vote with nothing more than a copy of a utility bill - by mail.

Just a few less lies and untruths next time Mr. Hansen, ok?

Of course not. The man has an agenda to push, and inconvenient things like facts just get in the way.

Dale Hansen is a sheltered liberal bed-wetter.
