It ranks right up there with:

"Fewer Gun Owners every week"

"Easily converted semi-automatic weapons"

"No background checks"

"Gun show loopholes"

"40% of sales with no background check"

"Weapons of war"

"90% of Americans want tougher gun laws"

You are NOT allowed to ever question any of the tenets of their faith, regardless of actual evidence. If you do, one of them will write a long, angry and poorly punctuated response proving you to be a dangerous Ammosexual!
