He knows all about Belleville’s because I schooled the idiot on the fraud…the revoking of his award and the guy getting fired……..he knows all about that….
I assumed he was familiar with Bellisises' "work"; the way the "fact" of rare gun ownership was recited, it's being recalled as an emotional construct. It's obvious he's one of those who reads something like Bellisiles that so confirms a bias and fills a space in their narrative, that it is committed to memory in a box that is immune to any review or reconsideration.
It can't ever be proven wrong, even when the hypothesis and conclusion are debunked and disgraced -- feet are stomped, fists are clenched, spit is spitttled; it just has to be true . . . So it is!
