We need to stage protests in front of every gun store in the nation and at every gun show and at every sporting goods store where assault rifles are sold. Oh, and at the NRA, of course.
We need to bring signs saying, "BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS NOW!" and so on.
Being Democrats, we should NOT follow the anti-abortionists' acts of violence against people or property.
Yes, the gun lovers will be pissed. Yes, this could lead to violence. Yes, we will be arrested. But we need to be as relentless as the anti-abortionists.
Remember John Lewis and all the other civil rights activists in the 60s. They did what they had to do to bring about change.

I'm not going to be the first one to bravely protest in front of a gun store or gun show. I don't want to get hurt or doxxed, and most of all, I don't want anyone to come after my family, including my furry kids, or to come set fire to our home or damage our cars.
What a horrible realization. I'm going to mull this sad state of affairs over and come up with an action I am willing to take.
