The OP is laughable, walk into any gun store in America and try to buy a gun.
Ditto for ammo.

barry is the best gun salesman to ever live!

This is crazy, who are these people that thought this was a good idea?

Ready, aim, misfire!
Exactly one month after the Newtown school massacre, the National Rifle Association has launched a free iPhone and iPad shooting game offering kids as young as 4 a chance to fire guns at coffin-shaped targets.


The free game “NRA: Practice Range” is offered on iTunes and allows would-be snipers to choose a weapon to fire at an indoor gun range, an outdoor range or for skeet shooting practice.
The free guns include a Beretta M-9 handgun, a Colt M-16 assault rifle with 15-round clip or a Mossberg 500 pump-action shotgun.

53% is not enough public support for Democrats representing gun-loving districts to buck the NRA. Because of this, the President will engage in back room deals to buy off these Congressman with favors and money, as with Obamacare. Wait and see.

Public support does not trump the 2nd Amendment.

Only 41% of americans support putting armed police in schools.

An even biggest blow against the NRA/hard right, only 27% support arming teachers.

While 53% support tougher gun laws

and lastly on a side note, the GOP house has caused congress to have the lowest approval ratings in US history at only 7%


Images of NRA, Congressional Republicans on the decline - Public Policy Polling
While the poll says one thing, stores have a totally different story as well as the prolonged wait for background checks.

Smells like someone is trying to convince the public to one side here.
Gun sales tell another story though.

There's lies, damn lies and statistics.
A poll can produce whatever numbers you want if it's worded correctly.

I found out first hand what a skewed poll can produce.
Travis county (TX) health dept called with with a poll on my personal health.
I said OK but most of the questions had to do with smoking in public.
I asked where's the "my health" questions.

Found out that poll was used to prohibit smoking in public places because the poll "overwhelmingly" showed public support for it.
Sure..when the question was posed like "Does it bother you if someone smokes right outside the door of a building ?" or "Does it bother you if someone smokes in a park playground ?"

The polls are shams and gullible people fall right in line. And they count on that.

IBTL. You can research what's in the link. Please prove it's wrong or admit that you're the typical moonbat who can't debate so they just say you're wrong and move on. I'll wait.

Biden did no better seeking advice from the game software developers.
I'm sure Blizzard, Activision and Microsoft have deep knowledge of "gun control".
