Firearm situation in the US

[DeltaStrikeOp]

Agreed. Sadly, public perception of firearms has continued to decline in these years, effectively disparaging firearm supporters. Legislators are afraid to support gun rights because of the fact the media will literally trample them to death and make them lose support.

Americans also seem to want to believe what makes them feel better. Doctored information from Bloomberg's Everytown for Gun Safety, and its affiliate, Moms Demand Action, has been making up information that even CNN has confirmed to be false. Yet they are slowly gaining supporters in the US, and continuing to increase hate on firearms and the owners of firearms. The clearly made up information has made it into many popular newspapers around the nation and grabbed headlines, when there are many other critical things to focus on, such as the nation's unemployment rate (which has been increasing the amount of crime) or the natural disasters that afflict our nation every year.

If anything, these organizations have ruined lives, not saved lives. Gun-control groups have demonized law abiding citizens and ruined their public image. They have ruined businesses for refusing to cooperate with their demands to ban the carry of firearms in store, which certainly will translate into higher crime rates because those who wish to harm others know they will not face resistance.
