Cringing is a sign of embarrasmentwhich is an emotion the gun lobby had surgically removed years ago, along with senses of shame or responsibility.

keep talking like thisNRA gained 100,000 new members in last 18 days. Apparently their goal is 5 million new paying subscribers. Unrealistic, but the fact is no one has sold more guns in the United States than Obama. Opponents observe the administration's mishandling of three separate gun walking/running operations and view them as backdoor attacks on 2nd Amendment rights. Surprisingly, most new gun sales are to women and to Democrats! Stores are are reporting long lines and being sold out across the country. Gun shows are PACKED. The assault types guns cannot be kept on shelves and are back ordered. The cost of ammunition has skyrocketed when it's not out of stock, backordered as well. The reverse reaction phenomena is quite incredible to observe. I don't know if you keep up with opposition but the right wing blogs are on fire with this.
