This was posted on a Pro-Gun FB page and I thought it was an interesting thing to compare.
While I believe in America's Constitutional Republic (not Democracy/majority rule) I must point out the actual numbers of supporters in the pro v anti groups.
As an example, Facebook.
I think we can agree that with the number of FB users, you can get a fairly representative sample of American support for and against gun control.
"National Rifle Association" official FB page has 2,559,580 "likes."
"Violence Policy Center" official FB page has 2,960 "likes."
"Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence" official FB page has 57,883 "likes."
"Mayors Against Illegal Guns" official FB page has 18,766 "likes."
So, let's be generous and compare the NRA number against the TOTAL of the three major anti-gun groups.
Simple math yields a roughly 32:1 ratio of support for guns.
It's hard to argue with that raw number.
What this means is that a SLIVER MINORITY is driving gun control with private $$$.
This should concern every American.

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison
