3. The multiple fears that gun owners have are the reason. They need to be addressed precisely.

Honesty is not found in debates online because many do not respect the fears that others have. Those afraid know this and hide behind words.

This is an emotionally driven subject, but the intense feelings of those appalled by the Newtown massacre have not sufficed to overcome the darker, less societally accepted fears that cause gun owners to bristle at all attempts to regulate.

Regulation through lawmaking will require a much longer term approach than a few stories. I wonder if focusing on the industry and not the individuals who are afraid to say what they are really most frightened by, is the best answer.
