4. Gabby and Mark are the big one now, i think

thanks in advance to you!

edit: the idea of getting the NRA stooges out of Congress is pretty ambitious, and a damn good idea- it'll help on other issues, too.

As gun-owning Westerners with moderate, consensus oriented politics, Gabby and Mark believe in the need to both enact measures to reduce gun violence and protect the rights of responsible gun owners. While the gun lobby offers America a false choice between gun rights and safe communities, Americans for Responsible Solutions is committed to commonsense policy that stops shootings while respecting the Second Amendment, such as:

Criminal Background Checks
Limiting High Capacity Magazines
Limiting Assault Weapons
Stopping Gun Trafficking

"We're just getting things started, but I've had conversations with a dozen other large political donors who have worked with me on other issues in the past, and I've had a good response," Mostyn said.

The group hopes to hit its $16-20 million fundraising goal ahead of the congressional primary cycle next year.

“We didn’t want to be doing this,” Kelly said. “There are lots of things we’d rather have done. But sometimes you don’t get a choice. Gabby is ‘OK, this happened to me. I want it to count for something.’ ”

ARS is intended to be an opposing force to the powerful National Rifle Association, which fights against the majority of proposals for gun regulation. This new PAC was created "because entrenched interests like the gun lobby have used big money and influence to stop Congress from acting,'' according to the ARS website. The group is committed to legislation like mandatory background checks for gun buyers at stores and gun shows, a ban on assault weapon sales to civilians, and the size of ammo magazines sold.
