The NRA keeps reporting and the dumb media keeps buying into it, that they've registered 100,000 new members since the Sandy Hook murders. First of all if the lazy media would get off their butts and do some investigating they'd find out the NRA is lying. They're trying to leave the impression the public still supports them by lying. On a sadder note they are using the murder of 20 children to try and bolster the pay of NRA executives.
Thanks for posting this. I've also seen reporting that says public support for gun control is weak. When you dig deeper you find:
In other words, since President Obama was elected, the far right has created a fear that Democrats mean to take away the right to bear arms, and they have muddied the question of how to control gun violence with their demagoguery. The constant drumbeat of the right has affected public opinion. I wonder how many mass shootings it will take before the reality of the need for gun controls re-asserts itself?
You defeat the gun lobby argument by stating that you will issue everyone a single shot handgun. In return every gun owner must relinquish their high capacity magazines. Everyone can keep their shotguns, hunting rifles, revolvers and standard capacity handguns, but the manufacture of ammunition for the handguns, other than the unique government issue single shot handgun, will be outlawed. Self manufacture "reloading" equipment and its use will also be outlawed.
