All they knew for certain was that the gun show no longer was held at the location it used to be held at. Later, when the facts come out, they look like idiots. The anti-gunners use that to their advantage, painting all gun owners as clueless tools who can't even think for themselves and therefore should no be allowed to have guns. And another stake goes in the heart of mother liberty.

With freedom comes responsibility. It is our job to not only deflate the liberal balloons but also stem the passions of good people when the cause is not based on truth. Far too many people these days are completely driven by emotion and can be swayed to take really foolish actions by planting stories that have a kernel of truth but are clearly meant to inflame. The plan goes like this: a gun show no longer can conduct its business at a certain location, for perfectly valid and legal reasons. An individual who sold guns at that show is convicted of selling straw purchases, which he clearly had to have known he was doing. So someone concocts the story that the police shut down the show and arrested a perfectly innocent person. Details get added that make it more inflammatory. It spreads like wildfire on the gun forums and freedom forums across the country. And the anti-gun crowd sits back and smiles - more fodder for painting the pro-gunners as boobs and childish idiots who are really dangerous and shouldn't be armed. More fodder for taking away our freedoms.

When you hand your enemy ammo, he will shoot at you.
