The influential lobbying and marketing arm for America’s gun manufacturers no longer has a Democrat in the White House to demonize as a way of boosting sales. A slump in demand since President Donald Trump’s inauguration seems to have prompted the National Rifle Association to manufacture a new demon: To arms! Lawless liberals are running amok! The newest NRA ad campaign is titled “Freedom’s Safest Place,” and it features incendiary narratives suggesting that taking up weapons is the only way to fend off a relentless onslaught on American values. This campaign is absurdly exaggerated but nevertheless frightening in its rationalization of guns as the solution to America’s political divide. |

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 |
