Context: "Myth: Criminals will always find a way to get their hands on a gun.
Fact: Laws like background checks stop gun sales to criminals every day. Since 1994, these laws have blocked more than 4 million gun sales to people who could not legally own guns." https://www.everytown.org/debunking-gun-myths-at-the-dinner-table/
Addendum: #TheoryInstrumentalism argument in support of #LegislationUS1791ConstAmdt2RightToBearArms e.g. something along the lines of "a gun is just a tool (which is therefore neutral of cultural influence and consequence)". The argument runs contrary to the #TheoryOfAffordances where it is the fact that guns afford killing/injuring when used whereas a pencil only affords writing and neither failing/passing an exam. Because doing so, is the affordance of the exam-sitter's ability to interpret and understand the answers the exam expects and to use appropriate communication in order to do so. #CatchcryGunsDontKillPeoplePeopleKillPeople

Context: "'If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain.'
There is no record of anyone hearing Winston Churchill say this. Paul Addison of Edinburgh University made this comment: 'Surely Churchill can't have used the words attributed to him. He'd been a Conservative at 15 and a Liberal at 35! And would he have talked so disrespectfully of Clemmie, who is generally thought to have been a lifelong Liberal?'" https://winstonchurchill.org/resources/quotes/quotes-falsely-attributed/ #IRLHistoricalFigureClementineChurchill
