1) Since gun control is clearly not a movement characterized by grass roots organization and activism, and is more an elitist outlook, then act accordingly: Talk with other elites, many who manage to arm themselve with no problem, and (re) start an MSM "campaign" to disarm the publc. Thus has been tried before, so prohibitionists should be well-practiced. Advice: MSM doesn't lord it over the information age as it once did, so don't expect much.

2) Again, working with elites, only here at DU, work to censor/ban any discussion of gun propaganda by Anyone in GD. Or better yet, get pro-2A Democrats banned or prohibited from DU altogether. You must know the proclivities of the owners by now, should be child's play. But until then, All discussion about "gun issues" Will be met by full-throated Response and Debate.

Use your elitist, central-command strong suit and have your opposition eliminated on DU. (BTW, I have a feeling that may be going on anyway, no?)
