    A fake news release was circulated Wednesday publicizing an alleged campaign by the National Rifle Association and Smith & Wesson titled “Share the Safety” which promoted “buy one give one” guns to people in poor communities. The entire hoax was elaborate and it included professionally designed websites, high quality videos, and a press release proportioning to be from the NRA.

    I saw one brief mention of this yesterday, then (not surprisingly) it appears to have dropped off the MSM's radar. Color me shocked.
