An email from the Brady Campaign to Collect Donations:
The corporate gun lobby literally capitalizes on fear after every mass shooting, to spread irrational mistrust of people of color, stoke fears of terrorism, and raise the specter of jack booted thugs coming “to take their guns.” In fact, stock prices for the two largest gunmakers in the country soared the day after June’s tragic Orlando shooting, which killed 49 people. And at the RNC last night, the NRA once again tried to scare the hell out of Americans just to sell more guns.Yep, those racist, greedy, capitalist gun companies and their NRA cronies.
In an op-ed from the AG of Mass. :
The directive specifically outlines two tests to determine what constitutes a “copy” or “duplicate” of a prohibited weapon. If a gun’s operating system is essentially the same as that of a banned weapon, or if the gun has components that are interchangeable with those of a banned weapon, it’s a “copy” or “duplicate,” and it is illegal. Assault weapons prohibited under our laws cannot be altered in any way to make their sale or possession legal in Massachusetts.So they know an 'assault weapon' when they see one by any definition they make up at the time. Effectively banning a huge percentage of firearms by even the most conservative definitions of the above.
All the while these same politicians are protected by the weapons they want banned from civilians.

The Brady Bunch is, predictably, mistaking correlation for causation again.
What's really driving those numbers is not the mass-marketing the E-ville Gun Lobby does to capitalize on chaos and death (like the gun-banners constantly claim), but people buying the guns they want out of fear the most recent tragedy will be leveraged to ban those same guns.
IOW, the increased gun sales in the wake of mass killings is a direct result of anti-gun groups' efforts at restricting our lawful ability to purchase firearms. Pair that with the fact that the disaffected losers doing the shooting are invariably Democrat supporters who choose "gun-free zones" for their attacks, and nearly always acquire their guns illegally via theft, black market, or straw purchase.
Here's my response to the Brady Bunch, the anti-gun politicians, and the mainstream media: The losers who open fire on innocents are usually on your side, not ours. YOU are driving the increase in sales. If you want to prevent the "gun lobby" from "profiteering on death", STOP TRYING TO BAN THE GUNS, AND STOP GLORIFYING THE MASS KILLERS!
