This Week in Guns, March 17th, 2018
 By Chris Covert Rantburg.com You can't have a "National Conversation on Guns" if one side insists on lying. On Facebook post after post, I read the recitation of made up facts as though they are the Gospel, and if you challenge any of them they demand you give them a recitation, backing up what you are saying. If this is an example of how the new set of gun control laws are being made; if these are the same people who are haranguing legislators to pass even more laws set against gun owners and their God given rights, then gun grabbers are venturing into territory they don't want to be in when the truth emerges. I read these ideas all the time: only police should have guns. The police will protect us from evil gun owners. (Insert country name here) has far fewer gun deaths than the USA. Pointing out any of the lies is like showing a cat a $100 dollar bill. What do you do when you have devoted your life to destroying God given rights? Do you appeal for forgiveness, or do you run and hide? Loads. Rantburg's summary for arms and ammunition: Pistol ammunition prices were mixed. Rifle ammunition prices were mostly steady. Prices for used pistols were mixed. Prices for used rifles were mostly higher.
