Seems like the smart citizens are preparing to fight back against the socialist gun grabbers in DC. Senators and Congressmen are being inundated with e-mails, letters and calls telling them to not support the left's gun control policies.
In the wake of the horrific Sandy Hook school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, the contentious debate over gun control has been reignited, spurring new policy proposals by lawmakers and mobilizing gun-rights advocates. While the National Rifle Association (NRA) has remained quiet in the aftermath of the shooting, the organization has registered some 8,000 new members per day since the harrowing tragedy.
In addition to an explosion of membership requests, an NRA source told Fox News that individual contributions to the organization have also spiked, according to an internal memo contrived by the groups membership division. While this broadly aligns with trends seen after similar incidents in the past, the surge in membership this time is said to dwarf past trends, Fox reports.
Along with noticeable increases in NRA memberships, firearm sales also have experienced a sharp boost in the wake of last Fridays massacre, which left 26 people dead, including 20 children between the ages of six and seven. This side effect is reportedly spawned by political debates over tightened regulations on the nearly $32-billion gun industry.
