Yes, We Can Have Sane Gun Control Without Trampling Gun Owners' Rights | Alternet

Yes, We Can Have Sane Gun Control Without Trampling Gun Owners' Rights | Alternet
"The reason we can't have a sane, adult discussion of how to cut down on random gun violence is simple: the NRA has hoodwinked a lot of reasonable gun owners into believing that there's a debate in this country over banning firearms altogether. We'll never be able to have a serious discussion about how to cut down on gun violence until that group accepts the actual terms of the debate. And the NRA has a vested interest in making sure they remain obscure because the organization represents gun manufacturers and a small, highly ideological minority of gun-nuts, rather than (typically responsible) gun  owners."
