It doesn't matter one bit to the "mainstream news media" what image we as gun owners want or try to portray. Keep in mind the media are under liberal/socialist control** and are working hand in hand with ultra liberal politicians to insure we lose as much of our 2nd Amendment rights as possible. Any attempt to paint gun owners in a favorable light will be accepted about as readily as providing even more factual information that Obama is a fake and a fraud.
They have managed to even keep the NRA from buying airtime to tell the truth about responsible gun owners and the networks have refused.
That is just the point Jim, trying to buy air time TO DEFEND gun owners is a frivolous adventure, for the most part, tit for tat won't get it done..........sponsoring a NASCAR race in Texas WHERE EVERYBODY ALREADY OWNS A GUN, is also a waste of advertising dollars for the NRA IMO....
The NRA, the NRA members and the present non-gun owning public would benefit more from an ad campaign that promoted POSITIVE gun ownership endeavors, sportsmanship, history and gun collecting, family unit participation etc., in depth and "consistent".......
All NRA members just received the new DVD from the NRA on self defense, costly advertising for sure, I think the NRA has touched on almost every point regarding self defense for years and years, it's time to move on to other positive promotional advertising......
As an aside, the T.V. shows that show a bunch of Gun Shop yo-yo's out in a field "blowing up" explosive targets, do more damage than good and do not reflect a positive image on gun ownership .......this type of gun owner projection is what we are up against, like it or not.........
Just my opinion.......
