8. And does one validate/reinforce everything the NRA tells it's drones?

Have mass media publicize all sorts of violence, death, and doom/gloom on every channel 24/7 (in spite of FBI stats showing violent crime has been trending down for almost a decade). But hey - blood sells, right? Then, play right into the NRA hands by talking about banning hi-capacity magazines and guns for days on end... just what the NRA overlords warned us about!

The NRA is a bunch of gun-pushing paranoids, true... but if the media and politicians aren't helping the NRA drive their point home to the masses, it's a mother of all coincidences.
