Frank Luntz: Public "insisting" that something be done, but the question is what
From Real Clear Politics:
"I don't think the the NRA is listening. I don't think they understand," Luntz said. "Most Americans would protect Second Amendment rights and yet agree with the idea that not every human being should own a gun, not every gun should be available at any time, anywhere, for anyone - that at gun shows you should not be able to buy something right there and then without any check whatsoever."
Luntz, referring to the Newtown massacre, also said "the public is asking, if not insisting that something be done so that this does not happen again."

It's not the NRA's function to "listen" to calls for gun bans. Luntz is way overreaching here. Luntz talks about what "most Americans" want, but NRA does not represent "most Americans". NRA's function in our society is to protect the rights of the gun owners who are its members, because if the leadership doesn't do that, then they get the boot.
Luntz makes the obtuse statements that , "...not every human being should own a gun, not every gun should be available at any time, anywhere, for anyone...", but we know from experience what the gun grabbers do with such obtuse ideas - they turn them into a laundry list of specific and far-reaching prohibitions.
The best article on the current subject so far for those with limited firearm knowledge is this one recommended by primier firearm and self-defense expert massad ayoob; http://kontradictions.wordpress.com/2012/08/09/why-not-renew-the-assault-weapons-ban-well-ill-tell-you/
