Here's a plan to maybe not defeat the NRA but to make them irrelevant

There have been countless mass shootings now, and there a countless number of families and individuals effected by the violence.

I would dare to say that are more of them than members of the NRA.

That’s a lot of people.

Suppose someone smarter than me started an organization with these people as the founders to stop gun violence. People for peace PFP, or something like that, and form a lobbying group.

There are enough deep pockets in this nation that are against assault rifles to give this group a real voice. The kind of voice aka money that the right wing would have to sit up and take notice.

This can and should be done. This is how change is made and to erode the power of the NRA.

So many people who have been hurt, so many families destroyed, so many hopes and drama taken away. There is power within that grief that needs to be channeled into having real gun laws

To finally make a god damn difference
