The Narrative, it is dying.....

From Hot Air:  WaPo/ABC poll shows majority believes a gun makes a home safer

The money quote:

In order to convince people that (a) guns make them more dangerous, and (b) the intent wasn’t to take away guns that people feel make them safer, a certain level of finesse and empathy would be required.  Was that what the gun-control crowd employed on this latest fiasco?  Hardly.   From the President down to the grassroots and especially in the media, gun-rights defenders were vilified, mocked, and demonized, all while the gun-control crowd pushed an agenda that had little to do with the shooting and the victims they repeatedly invoked.  This wasn’t a sales job — it was a lecture, a months-long shout in the face of people who don’t think it’s the guns that commit the crimes.

 Do read the rest.
