Jan 2013

I saw a crawler under one of the new shows today (CNN I think) that said "The NRA has claimed 100,000 new members since the Sandy Hook shootings". Is any organization keeping track of the membership in other groups, such as Gabby Gifford's' new PAC for Responsible People.
The reason I think this is important is the continuing effort by the NRA to claim that they represent bazillions of US citizens in the gun control/gun safety debate. I think we may have more members joining organizations that oppose the NRA positions.
