pretty dang clear:
And yet it’s a Lefty article of faith that guns are the root cause of assault and we would be better off without them! Why are they such science deniers?
The answer?: I think that this is a religion and Lefties are actually not at all tied to the facts when the facts are against them. Oh yes, they will (very vaguely) cite facts when it is to their benefit, but the facts are mere tools for them to selectively apply according to their stance. Facts are merely a cudgel in the service of their pre-established political beliefs.
They don’t believe it because they see it, they ONLY see what they already believe. And that is something we ALL need to guard against. It’s just that Lefties are particularly avoidant of that truth. Why? Well, that’s a subject for another day. But let me just say that theirs is an avoidant, psychologically defensive stance.
