This kind of thinking on the part of the NRA is not going to win their cause a lot of adherents. True, it’s a fake, but not one part of it disagrees with NRA doctrine which is very simple. “More guns are always better.”
Yes, only 47% of Americans feel we should have stricter gun laws than we do now, down from 57% a few months prior by the same polling organization. cite Anyway the AWB is a dead issue, Feinstein pushed it and it’s been rejected. Her own majority leader didn’t make it part of the legislation and only left it up as a possible amendment that he knew could never get enough votes. In Harry Reid’s own words he said the banning of those types of weapons (the AWB) not only doesn’t have the 60 votes it needs to clear a filibuster it “probably doesn’t have 40 votes in the Senate.” It’s not a realistic political issue at this time.
Anyway, my comment was in relation to how it might effect the politics of the Democratic primary in 2016, not an invitation to turn this thread into a gun control debate, which your post that was solely focused on the gun issue does.
