And before the gun industry bought the NRA people accepted restrictions on guns like everything else. But the people who stood to make the most money on guns realized they could stampede people with a FUD campaign of epic scale. Now they don't even have to do that, their target (no pun intended) audience is dancing to the music when the band isn't playing.
