Why Was the NRA Silent After the Newtown, CT Spree Killing?

Robert Farago - comments No comments

Whenever the gun control industry gets its knickers in a twist—especially when they’re waving the bloody shirt—you can count on all the usual suspects lighting-up the mainstream media’s guest bookers’ phone lines.  The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, The Mayors Against Illegal Guns, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, etc. Never mind that these pro-gun control orgs have fewer members than the University of Alabama National Alumni Association. The media cedes them the moral high ground and gives them millions of dollars worth of free air time. The anti-gunners put the NRA squarely in their sights, portraying the gun rights org (a.k.a., “the gun lobby”) as the devil incarnate. And where is the NRA spokesman pushing back against the gun grabbers, de-linking gun rights and mass murder, forwarding positive steps to protect our populace, showing fence straddlers that gun owners care, too? Where is the NRA’s statement on YouTube, their website or Twitter account? Where indeed.
