You demonstrated the problem. You told DanaC that Britain was subverted by a dictatorship in Brussels. Why did so many Britains voted for Brexit? Emotional fears and lies being a first thing heard, then the naive to only believed that what they want to hear.

Those who fear others need more guns because a jack-booted Clinton or Obama will take away all guns. They entertain their fears to even believe Isis is a greatest personal threat. Even more dangerous than a car. Not one fact justifies that fear. Does not matter. They need more big guns to even defend from Isis.

None one adult reason exists to believe that fear. But then not all adults think like adults. Many can be told what to fear. Then just know it must be true. For the same reason most all American adults *knew* smoking cigarettes increase health. The fearful were told Clinton and Obama would take away their guns. Virtually no one even recommends that. Irrelevant. Some adults are only emotional - entertain their fears. Anything that inspires that fear means a massive increase in gun sales. NRA virtually cultivates that fear.

Advertising targets those most easily brainwashed. Adults are suppose to learn facts before jumping to a conclusion. DanaC was told she was a victim of a jack booted EU Parliament. Fact that the EU is a parliament of elected ministers somehow never got learned. Facts just get in the way of entertaining more fears and urban myths.

And OJ Simpson was innocent.

The NRA actively cultivates that fear.

Pam, the reason for the uptick is the end in 2004 of the ill conceived assault weapons ban, which just arbitrarily picked some makes and models. After that it was easy to convince people another ill conceived farce would follow, so get 'em while you can..
