correctly right up until the right-wing John Birch Society and the NRA, with the help of ALEC and the ILA developed the marketing strategy to use fear to sell more guns for the manufacturers. The gullible public bought it hook, line, and sinker and now we have 300 million guns (or more) in our neighborhoods contributing to 30,000 deaths and 100,000 injuries per year.

It is past time to reverse this travesty, and elect Democrats who will honestly address the public health menace that guns have become, and not be afraid of the right-wing gun lobby while fixing the problem.
