But Teen Vogue hasn’t given up on fluff, as is illustrated in this piece by Watts, titled, “7 Things You Don’t Know About the NRA Gun Lobby and What You Can Do About It,” with the even more ominous assertion in the subtitle that “The NRA may be more influential than you realize.”
She may be right in one respect here. In almost twenty years of teaching, I’ve seen time and time again that “common knowledge” is a term created more out of optimism than demonstrable sociology. But the seven assertions that Watts makes do nothing to alleviate ignorance on the part of any reader who hasn’t studied the subject for herself. |

| NRA is a big name, but it is a medium player in the political arena, there a lot of pro rights players around! |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
