As the American public increasingly turns away from the gun control agenda, the leading gun control group has been forced to sell its membership list to raise money. While NRA membership nears 4 million members, the flagship gun control group, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, has been revealed to have just over 50,000 members. The once-secret Brady Campaign membership numbers were discovered when gun rights activist and blogger Joe Huffman found that the Brady Campaign was selling its membership list for direct mail marketing. As Huffman points out, 50,000 members is far below the 'about half a million members' that Michael D. Barnes, then Brady president, claimed in a 2004 interview. ------------------------------------------- ***************************************************************************
