Hillary and her team, also known as the mainstream media, weren’t the only ones busy fact-checking during Monday night’s presidential debate.
Clinton went after the NRA and Second Amendment with the hyperbolic claim that America is experiencing both a “plague” and a “gun epidemic.”
Au contraire, claimed the NRA that was quick to point out the facts.
Gun violence “epidemic”? “Plague”? Violent crime has been at historic lows throughout the U.S…. #DebateNight https://t.co/dxgQPcwXXS

Informed Twitter users pointed out that the places experiencing the worst gun violence are those with the strictest gun control laws.
“@NRA: Violent crime has been at historic lows throughout the U.S…. ” in spite of record highs in Democrat cities with strict gun control.

Amen.
Others found the word “plague” an odd choice to say the least.
FACT CHECK: TRUE, as guns continue to spread exponentially from host to host regardless of species https://t.co/XYoHTmvwwO

“Gun epidemic?” The right to defend yourself isn’t a disease, @HillaryClinton. #DebateNight

Actor Steven Seagal laid down some cold hard facts of his own:
#Hillary is not speaking the truth about #GunEpidemic… The issue isn’t about weapons, it is about CRIMINALS.

Truer words couldn’t be spoken.
