[font=Calibri, Corbel, sans-serif]Sydney, Australia - How should you respond to a deadly mass shooting if you are a gun rights advocate?[/font]

[font=Calibri, Corbel, sans-serif]First, "Say nothing." If media queries persist, go on the "offence, offence, offence". Smear gun-control groups. "Shame them" with statements such as - "How dare you stand on the graves of those children to put forward your political agenda?"[/font]

[font=Calibri, Corbel, sans-serif]This was the advice the US's most powerful gun lobby gave Australia's One Nation party, according to an Al Jazeera investigation, when representatives of the Australian far-right group sought guidance from the National Rifle Association (NRA) on loosening the Pacific country's strict gun laws.[/font]









[font=Calibri, Corbel, sans-serif]As such, I'm curious- How do you counter the arguments that the NRA puts forward? How do you respond to their tactics, in order to get a foot in the door on issues like this?[/font]
