The Internet is a wonderful thing. It can provide average citizens with all sorts of news and information at the push of a button.
It can also be a huge source of lies and malicious distortions, especially in the hands of less-than-scrupulous partisans.
Which brings us to the Gun Owners of America, the source of a chain e-mail that claims all guns will have to be declared on tax forms next year.
Well, no. Wrong. PolitiFact has fact-checked the claim and awarded the Gun Owners its dubious "Pants on Fire" award.
The lie is documented here.
