Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary concern regarding gun control legislation after the Parkland shooting?

The primary concern is the organized and well-funded gun ban lobby, which had pre-drafted legislation ready for state legislatures. These bills often appear identical, suggesting a centralized origin, and propose bans on various firearm components and types.

What are considered 'losing arguments' in the gun rights debate?

Arguments like 'my guns have never hurt anyone' or 'if I put my gun on the table, it won't hurt anyone' are considered losing arguments. They are ineffective because they don't persuade opponents and waste valuable advocacy time and energy.

How should gun rights advocates present their arguments more effectively?

Advocates should focus on winning arguments, such as the hundreds of thousands of defensive gun uses annually. They need to understand their audience's 'hot buttons' and present information in a way that encourages them to reconsider their views, rather than forcing them to admit they are wrong.

What is the 'Stopwatch of Death' concept in active shooter response?

The 'Stopwatch of Death' refers to the critical need for immediate action in active shooter events. It emphasizes that time is lives, and the first responding officer should engage the threat directly rather than waiting for backup, as delays result in more casualties.

What was the Fast and Furious program, and what was its alleged purpose?

The Fast and Furious program was a government operation where thousands of firearms were intentionally allowed to flow to Mexican drug cartels. The alleged purpose was to trace these guns back to crime scenes in the US to create a narrative for stricter gun control legislation.
