Humbuggery
noun
1. pretense; sham.
Example:
It's time to connect the dots. Since Illinois has allowed conceal and carry of loaded guns in public, shooting deaths have increased 84% and the number of annual shootings has increased a whopping 94%. [1]Allowing people to hide loaded guns in public has not made us safer.
The above quote, from the Windy City Times would have you believe that it is the citizen's with a "conceal and carry" license that are causing an increase in shootings and shooting deaths. It has been proven that citizen's that have obediently jumped through all of the bureaucratic hoops, including a background check, being fingerprinted and photographed, that are required in order for them to get a permit to carry a concealed firearm are, as a group, more law-abiding than the police.
Instead of depriving law-abiding citizen's of their right to defend themselves, organizations such as Gun Violence Prevention PAC IL need to re-examine the cause of the violence.
Focus on the truth for a change!
