Of course, that's the reason for gun control.
This report is important because it will be useful (dare I say possibly instrumental) in allowing us to show those naive misguided souls (like the people with the MMM bumper stickers) that the politicians who support gun control are not do-gooders trying to prevent crime, but evil facists/elitists.
Won't mean a thing to gun control groups or the naive. The gun control groups are in it for the MONEY. They are 501 (3) (C) organizations and have full time, paid employees such as executive directors, executive assistants and receptionists (as well as the naive who volunteer for nothing), these people have a job because of gun control. Some exec. directors make $100,000+ per year. Why should they quit because the report of a study proves that their position is wrong? As long as the checks clear the bank, gun control activists will exist.
What's my solution? Pay them more not to champion gun control. It would be cheaper for the NRA to buy out the gun control executives of these organizations then it is to fight them on the political battle field. It's not about "guns", it's about money.
