It will take time before the chief component of the control/banner outlook -- mainstream media -- conditions the public to a new fear. Be assured they are at it full time, but the Newz and Big 3 T.V. aren't the big guys on the block anymore. Gun control is not a "movement," but a rather elitist outlook with little grassroots activism and fund-raising. It must depend on wealthy bankrollers, foundations and the Newz' constant (but archaic) agitprop.
