But Teen Vogue hasn’t given up on fluff, as is illustrated in this piece by Watts, titled, “7 Things You Don’t Know About the NRA Gun Lobby and What You Can Do About It,” with the even more ominous assertion in the subtitle that “The NRA may be more influential than you realize.”
She may be right in one respect here. In almost twenty years of teaching, I’ve seen time and time again that “common knowledge” is a term created more out of optimism than demonstrable sociology. But the seven assertions that Watts makes do nothing to alleviate ignorance on the part of any reader who hasn’t studied the subject for herself. |

| NRA is a big name, but it is a medium player in the political arena, there a lot of pro rights players around! |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
