Before Congress took its August break, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declared that when the Senate returns, it will take up gun control in light of the El Paso and Dayton mass shootings. He said, “What we can’t do is fail to pass something.”

When the Senate debate begins next week, several lies that have gained traction in recent years will repeat, Here’s the lies,then the truth.

#1. Unlike other countries, America is plagued by mass shootings.
#2. Background checks stop mass shootings.
#3. Gun-free zones work.
#4. AR-style rifles are preferred by mass shooters.
#5. So-called “smart guns” are the answer.

These are the lies that will be told in the U.S. Senate in the coming weeks.

Let’s hope that the rest of the Senators do their homework and rebut such lies with the truth.
