You can have all the data in the world, but nothing is going to happen if you can't get the votes to back it up.
There really doesn't seem to be much concern over enacting more gun control at a federal level beyond talking about it on Facebook and a few days of outrage in the news every time this kind of thing happens. For whatever reason, pro-gun control groups can't turn their message into votes, which are the only currency that matters to politicians.
I think if some of these groups were to take a more measured approach and move any from their "demonize guns" approach, there would be more people receptive to their message. Not to mention actually knowing what you're talking about when proposing a law (the whole barrel shroud issue from a few years back, suppressor debate can be included in this too).
