There are seven sections in the gun control addendum:
Gun Messaging
How to introduce your argument
About Background Checks
About Military-Style Assault Weapons
About High-Capacity Ammunition Magazines
How to rebut common pro-gun arguments
Sources for more detailed talking points
Each one features talking points about what to say, and what language to avoid. For example, in the first section, readers are advised to not say “gun control” but to use the phrase “preventing gun violence.” Instead of “stricter gun laws,” the guide advises using “stronger gun laws.”

Thanks!
I have downloaded it and will study it .
It seems to me that they are arguing the wrong point. The second amendment nor our guns are about the government keeping us "safe". It is about us keeping ourselves safe from foreign invaders, progressives, and other tyrants that would limit our natural rights and liberties, as well as defending ourselves from thugs and criminals.

So, I did a little quick math based on some numbers that I found. They tout the NICS as having been a great success, they say it has denied 1.5 million purchases over 14 years. That's about 107,000 per year. Seems like a big number, right? WRONG. From 1998 to 2012, there were over 156 MILLION applications to the system. A bit of quick math tells me that the denial rate is about .06%. Yeah, a tiny little drop in a big ol' bucket. These antis think they are so slick, but they are just trying to make mountains out of molehills.

Not to mention the fact that some of those denials should have been approved. One of those being the last time my name was run through the system.

ROFL! I have trouble keeping track of all of my emails and passwords, so these days I email them to myself and then archive a copy in Word. I often use Irving Washington, or Wash Irvington, or Washington Irving, or Irvton Washing, among others.

Exactly, a defect in their numbers which has been pointed out to them many times, and which they continue to ignore.
