16. The NRA's 800 lb gorilla is a creature of the gun control outlook.

Listen for a few more years back when the controllers/MSM were calling for wholesale bans while Obama was spearing fish in Hawaii.

The phenomenon of people walking around witth long guns won' t grow and will probably fade. It only looks big because MSM likes to stir the pot. Funny, most everyone I've talked to have seen the dozen or so with rifles at one time or another. But it's always a surprise when I show them a picture of the Huey P. Newton Gun Club. They haven't seen it before, even when the Club does their thing in Dallas & Houston, 200 miles away. The reason being that it doesn't fit the GunzNarrative™ of crazy RW white (usually) men brandishing guns. Try the experiment yourself.
