2013, NRA Institute for Legal Action, "Emily Gets Her Gun!"
Miller links together a mountain of facts to dismantle the pro-control arguments concocted by the president and his allies, and calculatingly fed to the American people by many of her peers in the Fourth Estate.

If procontrol opinion really is as genuine and as strong as survey responses indicate, why is it that procontrol groups cannot mobilize large numbers of voters to call or write to their elected representatives to urge them to vote in a procontrol direction, while the NRA routinely manages to do this?... The available evidence supports the following conclusions: (1) most people have no real opinion or only very weak or unstable opinions on specific narrow gun control proposals; (2) most people have only very general opinions on broad issues like gun control rather than specific, strongly held opinions on narrow issues, and (3) the few who do have strong, stable opinions in the gun control area are mostly anticontrol, because most of them are gun owners.

(rare, firearms, physics) A superior projectile; a supershot.
