    I believe this is more harmful then beneficial. Although opinions may vary its almost like they are trying to make a joke out of gun control which is an issue that has cost many lives including those of children. Although the have the right to express an opinion I do not think this was truly an appropriate campaign.

    This piece is definitely harmful, co-opting the term "gun control" to spin it into a more positive term for NRA's supporters. It downplays the controversy surrounding gun control in an attempt to deflect responsibility and is therefore fairly dangerous.
