• Beyond the NRA's absolutism
  December 10, 2009 — NRA leaders, meet your members. It turns out that the people in the ranks actually are much wiser than their lobbyists... In his survey of 832 gun owners, including 401 NRA members, [pollster Frank] Luntz found that 82 percent of NRA members supported "prohibiting people on the terrorist watch lists from purchasing guns." Sixty-nine percent favored "requiring all gun sellers at gun shows to conduct criminal background checks of the people buying guns," and 78 percent backed "requiring gun owners to alert police if their guns are lost or stolen."
