It appears to be an extreme example of unintended consequences, or a boomerang: the more people talk about gun control, the more people buy guns. And not only do gun sales surge, but apparently so does N.R.A. membership.


Glad to see some are taking notice... Gun Control is EXTREMELY unpopular in most of the nation, and as general rule, the gun laws are getting relaxed more and more, as a result, gun control, when they do manage to get something passed, is the exception rather than the rule..

Gun Control advocates are blissfully sowing the seeds of their own destruction, the more they scream on the nightly news about it, the more politicians demand it, the more the needle gets pushed the other way, and in the end of the day, they lose even more....

...O well...

Just noticed on the news that now Ohio, will honor ANY states concealed weapon permits, without question... And with nary a notice in the MSM, it's simply another loss for the gun control movement, no news here...
