Gun Control & RKBA
Related: About this forumPopular support for gun control?
We're told constantly how gun control has tons of popular support.
If that's true, how come 'moms demand action' could only muster 5 moms (10 people if you include the men and Senator Murphy) for the labor day parade in Newtown of all places?

(5,046 posts)To do so would point out just how deeply unpopular they are...
But just for giggles, I looked up two Youtube accounts, One the "cutting edge" gun control group, the "Every town against gun violence" with their 2,863 subscribers (at this moment) You know the one constantly in the news.. Can only claim 2,863 subscribers???? Whatever happened to the 90% support, might I digress...(that is only about 57 subscribers PER STATE...LOL!!!!!!) And judging by the pic at the top, that is roughly 10% of ALL members in that state!!!ROFLMAO!!!!!!

And here is a Youtuber, who is much LESS well known nationally than the "bloomberg bankrolled, mass media adored" Everytown..
Hickok 45, he currently only has 2,131,273 Subscribers..

He is only a individual, NOT a major organization, but yet, somehow, for every ONE subscriber "Everytown" has, he has around A THOUSAND... And he does not have Bloomberg's billions (or the NRA's) money backing him up.
One is clearly "outside the mainstream"... It's ONLY an election year, what do we have to loose??

(12,194 posts)More than a dozen gun control supporters took part in a protest on Capitol Hill on Tuesday.
Members of the D.C. chapter of Gays Against Guns, Code Pink and WERK for Peace were dancing to music as they marched around the Cannon, Longworth and Rayburn House Office Buildings on Independence Avenue. They also staged die-ins on the steps of the Rayburn House Office Building and in front of the U.S. Supreme Court.

I think there are thirteen in the picture - from 3 groups.
That's some popular support right there.

(6,185 posts)At least they managed to gather more than 3 times the support that our own DU gun control fans can in the average week.
A recent "protest" here in Illinois managed to get 3 or 4 protestors at 6 different locations. The number varied because the wife of the one protestor had to run some errands in the afternoon.
Even the gun control loving media didn't bother to cover them it was so pathetic.
