Rallying cry for gun control

I don't understand how it can be a 'majority' of Americans favor gun control yet all of the activists are on the pro-gun side of the argument. The article pretends that the NRA is funding gun bloggers too. Where is my check?

Update: Chicagoboyz has a more detail on this article. From the comments:

Gun control fails as a political issue because it is grounded in the elitist beliefs that ordinary, law abiding people are to stupid and incompetent to own and use guns. Leftist can’t understand why calling people stupid is a failure at the polls so they invent elaborate effects and conspiracies to explain it.

That about sums it up for me.
