Uprooting the "Weapons Effect" propaganda for "gun control"
The federal government has assumed the power to shoot down any civilian aircraft that seems to pose a threat to public safety -- and thus to kill perhaps hundreds of civilians on a suspicion of terrorism. The same government forbids passengers and others from lawfully carrying defensive sidearms aboard aircraft -- because of the fear of accidental shootings -- when armed passengers and crew could deter and prevent terrorist hijackings.
Learn how those bizarre contradictory ideas -- now infecting Washington policy wonks -- make sense to those people who believe the "weapons effect" propaganda.

Understanding the psychology of gun prohibition can help you to see the roots of crazy policy suggestions, to detect media misinformation, and to communicate pro-liberty, pro-self defense ideas to others.
