Gun Control Reform Activism

It's another verse from some chapter in the 2nd Amendment Mythology Bible, bill. The nra will disregard most all other more poignant reasons & single out their pro gun efforts for republican successes, in their drunken gun addicted logic.

But one lesson needs to be resisted: The idea that passing a more expansive gun control law in 1994 came back to bite Democrats in the midterm elections.
... were guns really the issue in 1994? U.S. News & World Report (1/17/13) runs down some of the research, which points out that most of the seats lost were in Republican-leaning districts, and there were a number of other big issues–including the healthcare debate, NAFTA and a soft economy. Writing in the American Prospect (2/22/12), Paul Waldman took a look at some of these NRA myths.
New York Times editorial page (5/9/09), Dorothy Samuels wrote: The {AWB} law certainly enraged many NRA members and might explain the loss of certain Democratic seats. However, there were other major factors in the Democrats' 1994 loss, starting with perceived Democratic arrogance and corruption.. Add to that voter unhappiness with Mr. Clinton's budget, his healthcare fiasco, the Republican Party's success in recruiting appealing candidates, and that ingenious Republican vehicle for nationalizing the elections known as the "Contract With America." The contract, by the way, did not mention guns.
As Waldman argues, the people who most loudly champion the electoral power of the National Rifle Association are the National Rifle Association. These mythologies shouldn't be treated as facts.
