You guys are a cut above the rest but there is an almost universal problem to fighting gun control and that is to simply shoot the messenger rather than examine the source and its modus operandi and fight that.
Gun Control organisations are each and every one, PUBLIC SAFETY organisations.
They serve no other public purpose than to advise the public on the dangers of firearm ownership.
Gun control organisations may or may not have another agenda, but you cannot fight the agenda. You have to address the means and manner in which gun control seeks to remove “guns” from your and every other law abiding firearm owners hands – PUBLIC OPINION.
What is public opinion?
It is the yardstick of every political party, politician, of every business that wants to make money and of any success that involves the public’s participation.
How do gun control organisations operate?
They create public FEAR and HATE of an object (guns) and offer a solution to the problem. Get rid of guns – problem solved and objective achieved. Gun control will not stop until that objective is achieved. Neither congress, politicians nor the courts will ever prevent gun control from achieving its objective.
I see the words propaganda and demonise bandied about but their does to seem to be any dots connected to how to fight propaganda.
How to fight is to deny gun control its means of achieving the objective – public opinion in favour of gun control.
The latest Gallop poll indicates that public support is at an all time low of 49% in favour of more restrictive firearm control laws. There are many firearm owners who support more restrictive laws because they believe the propaganda of gun control.
I would be worried because gun control will react to that decrease and do something about it.
What can we do about it?
Promote public safety not firearm ownership. Cheer leading firearms will only increase anyone’s fear of firearms. The public need reassurance and reasons the public can understand why they should tolerate or embrace firearms for their own safety.
That cannot be achieved when politicians place gun control ahead of fixing the social problems of crime. When the police, state and national structures are snowed up in paperwork of controlling those least likely to commit crime. When criminals are given a government backed guarantee that victims will be unarmed, criminals can and will react in the only way possible for a predator. Nor can any success be achieved when firearm owners completely ignore public concerns for their safety. You never ever want to find out what the public will do when they think their safety is being threatened by anyone or anything.
If gun control, politicians, businesses and the media think public opinion is vitally important then firearm owners and organisations had better figure out why and if it is important to their survival.
BTW here is an interesting website.
