Agreed, and it's a problem both sides indulge in with equal relish. I was having a discussion with a friend who is very pro gun control. They pointed out that Trump was lying when he said crime was a serious problem because , they correctly pointed out, the crime rate has been dropping for the past twenty plus years . I then stated that this was true and is directly counter to their argument for gun control, that we have a gun violence "epidemic". Additionally, gun ownership has risen during that period. The logic pretzel that followed was both enjoyable and painful to behold.
