The NRA leadership would like nothing better than for us to forget the image of 20 tiny coffins in Newtown, Conn. But that view does not represent the majority of the American people who agree with Gabby Giffords that the time to act is now.
Ninety-two percent of Americans support universal background checks for gun buyers, including 87 percent of gun owners and 74 percent of NRA members. Sixty-nine percent of Americans support a ban of semiautomatic assault weapons and 63 percent of Americans support limiting the capacity of gun magazines.
These numbers should speak for themselves and translate into action, but too often our short attention span makes us lose focus and forget our outrage |
