2. The tide is turning

and a very different, and encouraging, demographic is emerging. The days of the NRA-sponsored obscene proliferation of untraceable guns and unaccountable gun owners are numbered, and no amount of panic-buying or hoarding of guns and ammunition will slow the momentum of a return to sanity.

The NRA/Gungeoneers are so very confident that their "gunz for all" mantra will prevail, and it will be poetic justice to see them rant and rave when sensible gun regulation is forced down their throats. The Second Amendment is not under attack as the NRA would have their RKBA zealot followers believe; but those who would abuse the intent of the Second Amendment for greed and profit are being targeted, and called out as the death merchants that they really are.

Newtown and Gabby Giffords are the face of this new and energized movement, and they represent the collective will of more and more Americans each day. This madness will be spotlighted and dealt with in Town and County Councils, State Legislatures, and the US Congress, and order and sanity will be restored. It may take a few years, but the movement has begun.
