17. Let us know when the largest gun control .org has 1/10th the membership of the NRA

I find it difficult to reconcile your claims of a "swelling tide of opinion" with the
observation that an organization one can join essentially for free (clicking "like" on one
of their Facebook pages suffices) is drastically outnumbered by one that costs a
minimum of $25 a year to join - the ratio was ca. 20:1 the last time I looked.

False consensus effect is not your friend.

I'll say it here: The NRA needs taking down, but the current approach taken by
most gun control advocates will not do so
