The NRA *and* the Brady Campaign(s) might be both be headed to the dustheap...
...of history, and I couldn't be happier about it. The sooner the armed wing of the Republican Party and the
crypto-Prohibitionists are gone, the better. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022140356 The NRA might be replaced by the Firearms Policy Coalition. http://www.firearmspolicy.org/ Plenty of gun owners are tired of the NRA's sucking up to the Republicans (and
the cultural warfare that goes with it), and some groups of gun owners and industry types are finally doing something about it. However, gun control advocates shouldn't jump for joy just yet- The coaltion of groups that make up the FPC have a better track record at winning court cases and getting less-restrictive firearms laws passed than the NRA has of late http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014360316 Gabby Giffords launches group to counter gun lobby
http://americansforresponsiblesolutions.org/ Dear fellow American,
Two years ago, a mentally ill young man shot me in the head, killed six of my constituents, and wounded 12 others. Since that terrible day, America has seen 11 more mass shootings – but no response from Congress to prevent gun violence. After the massacre of 20 children and six of their teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary though, it’s clear: This time must be different. Americans for Responsible Solutions will encourage elected officials to stand up for solutions to prevent gun violence and protect responsible gun ownership by communicating directly with the constituents that elect them. Join us today, and tell your elected leaders that Americans are demanding responsible solutions to reduce gun violence. Please take a moment to read our op-ed. Sincerely, Gabby & Mark
