    What the fuck is the issue now

    I was all set to say, okay you redeemed yourself with The Guardian because you actually picked out some factually wrong stuff I didn’t know about and I learned they were maybe more sensationalist a paper than I was aware of and that’s relevant information

    Now this I am somewhat confident is some bullshit, but let’s see

    Edit: Hm… now I don’t know what to think. Here are some of the things they’re calling out as lies, and then the context:

    • Says Walmart is “one of the largest sellers of assault-style weapons.” – False

    There’s not really any further information, but it kinda looks to me like when this was said, it was true. “Walmart estimates that it contributes just 2% of total US gun sales and 20% of ammunition sales. He said this means Walmart is probably not among the top three guns sellers in the country.”
