20. Money, it all about money.

The difference between 'you' and 'them' is money. The people belonging to the NRA are DUES PAYING MEMBERS. They believe in their convictions so much so that they are literally willing to put their money where their mouth's are. The NRA garners something like 200+ million dollars per year and god knows how much they'll rake in this year with all the paranoid nuts all whipped up into a frenzy. 'You' on the other hand simply run around signing petitions and complaining on the internet.

And in the end all the politicians, media, lobbyists, and corporations care about is money.
The answer is simple: Donate/generate Anti-Gun Money.
