Use the same techniques pronlifers gave long used
Protest every gun store. Start screaming at everyone entering them. Set up displays of victims of gun violence at every store. Hell start photographing the license plate of everyone entering
Make going into a gun store a miserable experience

(30,957 posts)Which no one in Planed Parenthood would dream of using. Maybe the gun store closes. Not in Texas or a dozen other states which would make a hero out of the gun store owner.

Also, remember in many states it's legal to run over protesters with your car.

(19,382 posts)There are over 50,000 gun shops in America (more then McDonalds). It would take a vast number to protest gun shops.

and possibly risk a stand-your-ground situation?
People are pissed off at low wages, high gas, many cant afford their rent now. There is a lot of anger and rage out there. Getting in the face of people buying guns is a terrible idea.

(71,555 posts)The only way out is to elect Democrats and overtime we fucking lost the courts in 16, it is going to take time. I don't know if I will live to see it.

(5,947 posts)Most are suburban or rural. There probably aren't sidewalks to protest from, and anything on the store property will result in the protestors being removed by law enforcement as it is private property. Most are probably pretty far from your average blue protestor's home.
Also consider the numbers. Google says there are 50,000 gun dealers in the country.
