"NRA talking points"? How about anti-gun talking points?

42. That says rather more about the "supporters" of gun control than the NRA, I think.

With that supposed vast army of support just waiting to be unleashed, why aren't they raising more money?

It's not as if progressives as a group are cheap, rather the opposite.

NRDF and the Sierra Club can raise tens of millions, the ACLU can as well. The EFF likewise.
More importantly, they know how to motivate people and how to get listened to.

Lately, the ACLU and EFF especially have been running a full-court press on the subject of
NSA surveillance and they've been all over the web (and DU).

In contrast, what do we get from gun control advocates?
(I refuse to reeuphemize them as 'gun safety advocates'- they are no more "gun safety advocates" than
the NSA is an "internet safety organization&quot

When the Senate gun control bill died, so did the story...

And when the story died, so did the momentum for new Federal gun control laws.
Thinking and acting as if the media were going to do your heavy lifting for you was
a recipe for failure, and the people you despise here told you so at the time

If you lot want to get anywhere, you need to organize and actively seek out people
like Gabby Giffords has been doing- the Brady Camapign are a bunch of ineffectual
dilettantes run by Republicans. They're headed for the dustheap of history.
