"In a New Year’s Day interview with Salon magazine, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America founder Shannon Watts said the media is misreading things — Moms Demand Action is not losing, but the NRA is."
"According to Salon, Watts suggested 'the NRA and the gun lobby in general' succeeded in controlling gun debate language in a way that gives those defending the Second Amendment the appearance of victory. In reality, however, she says the public actually supports the gun control lobby’s position over the NRA’s."
"Watts says the NRA also seizes on differences between racial and ethnic groups and 'exploit [divisions] within different communities and manipulate information and try to paint a picture that’s not accurate.'" ... |

Watts's up with this ? Like others of her ilk, this pundit's zeal leads her to engage in blatant "transference" of her, (and their) MO to millions of law-biding, (and actively supportive of police) americans. Accusing them of the "dirty deeds" these power-greedy groups employ as SOP.

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
