6. How about looking at whom the messages are intended to appeal?

The Brady messages are seeking to persuade people to enact common sense safety measures to protect society. They are appealing to average Americans here. The NRA, on the other hand, is merely stoking anger among their temperamental, gun toting sycophants who don't need anyone instilling more fear or aggression in them. The latter group is far more likely to go on a violent rampage than the former group is, but gunners will never understand that.

Anyone opposed to Obama's EOs is obviously weak on crime and wants guns in the hands of people who shouldn't possess them.
