On Monday, a St.Louis, Missouri leftist lawyer who describes herself as “America’s go-to expert, host, author and commentator on compelling legal, political, women’s, children’s and celebrity issues,” and has appeared on various networks, including CNN and ABC News, decided to tweet a massive lie comparing the need for an I.D. to vote with the need for an I.D. to buy a gun.

Areva Martin had already attacked the GOP in the wake of the Florida school shooting, tweeting this last Friday:

I’m so angry about the GOP’s role in the massacre of our kids! They have taken millions of dollars from the NRA; they refuse to discuss even sensible gun control; and for nearly 2 decades they have prevented the CDC from studying gun violence! #Shameful #FloridaSchoolShooting

But on Monday, she ratcheted up her rhetoric to a new zenith with this tweet:

Just let this sink in! #FloridaSchoolShooting #Florida #GunReformNow pic.twitter.com/h5EvrgDwsY

Martin’s perch on top of her sky-high soapbox was briefer than a Michael Moore diet, as she was walloped with facts from people all across the country:

Are you aware that both top and bottom graphic are completely false?
Thought you’d want to know as many people will be calling you out for spreading lies.

YOU are why we have mass shootings! You spread these lies, they turn to hate! Federal Regulations require ID to buy a gun. The map below from Ballotpedia shows states you do NOT need ID to vote!#NoGunControl #FactsMatter pic.twitter.com/Of2X3i05FF

WRONG!!! I live in Mississippi and you cannot purchase a gun legally without an ID

In Illinois, you can vote without ID. You cannot buy guns without ID. You shaded my state wrong in both maps.

I’m not a gun guy, but this is not an accurate graphic. Take my home state of VA for example:https://t.co/OkpIFPksvI

I’m a Texan and you have to have an ID in Texas to buy a gun.

in oregon, you need your id, and by law you’re also background checked if purchase from a store, and if your buying from another person you need to be at a shriffs office or store to get said background check…

Esquire? So you’re an attorney yet you have no problem passing this totally false infographic as true … I can speak for Tennesee … you most certainly must produce ID and pass the TICS background check to purchase a firearm. But don’t let the truth interfere with your agenda.

Good lord, do you people ever quit lying? Let me answer. NO!
— Shari (@jdhlsc169) February 19, 2018

This isn’t correct. I live in NC and you are required to show ID, pass a background check (for the purchase permits) and file your weapon (once purchase permits are used this happens automatically). Please don’t lie to Americans to further a narrative.

I just bought a gun in Georgia. I needed ID. Go ahead and do the map without Georgia, @ArevaMartin.

So wait, you didn’t think it might be worth a “smidgen” of your time to research this before posting?#MoronAlert #GoogleIt
