It's what they do.

Lie.

In Washington State...

Supporters of I-594 claim 80% of prison inmates obtained guns through private transfers, but according to the U.S. Department of Justice statistics from 1993-2011 and again in 2013, 77% got them through “fencing, drug dealers, burglary, or other on-the-street illegal black-market operations.” Opponents say this law won’t have any effect on criminals getting guns.

You'll notice here that the prohibitionists provide a statistic to prove their case but neglect to provide details that would show their statistic is utter bullshit. Like I said, they lie. Here it is by omission.

The other issue here is we have billionaires supporting gun control with large cash donations. Billionaires that have no need to own a personal weapon for self-defense because they have protective details armed to the teeth. Gun control is for the little people. Hypocrisy is for the rich.
