Even if you assume 5.9 million new sales is equal to that many voters (with a fresh perspective?) that number is still a pretty small fraction of the 160 million total registered voters. Spread out across all the states even if all those potential voters were to vote the same way this doesn't feel like it makes a significant difference on the national scale.

Good point - makes one wonder how many of those 350 million firearms out there belong to each gun owner. I am all for getting people into gun ownership, helping them gain confidence and skill with their firearm, and pointing out that they need to join us in the fight to keep our freedom (fresh perspective folks).
