Just take a look at your 401(k) plan. If you're in one managed by Vanguard, BlackRock, Fidelity or just about any other mutual fund group, you're most likely the owner of shares in the three primary publicly traded gun makers: Smith & Wesson; Sturm, Ruger & Company; and the Olin Corporation.

Self-righteousness is liberating. The same people who are most exercised about guns in America, and want to ban and even confiscate entire categories of firearms, know little about them and evidently feel no compunction to learn.

But please don’t confuse the anti-gun campaigners with facts. Their ignorance is invincible, and necessary to their crusade.

Reaction to the President's speech is driving some to do something they never done before: buy a gun. Others are buying even more guns. Ever since Black Friday the owner of this Muskegon area gun store says he's never been busier.
The first customer of the day walked in right after the store opened. The phone has been ringing all day. The rush of customers has become something Gary Foster has come to expect. "Everybody is doing the same thing after every mass shooting, assault weapons, ammunition, magazines," he says. "It is everything, after Sandy Hook we did not have a handgun in the building." The San Bernardino shooting is resulting in new gun owners.

When I was in middle and high school, there were spirited public debates about whether the proliferation of grisly movies, gore-glorifying song lyrics and shoot-'em-up video games might desensitize my peers and me to violence.

While I'm reluctant to pin any of this on pop culture, it's true that my generation appears somewhat inured to violence — at least violence involving firearms.

 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53
