If the intent of GCR is to impose collective guilt they should continue as they have in the past. However, I suspect the results will be what we have seen in the past: Panic buying, lost elections and.opportunism for the NRA.

But I hope what I have expressed in the OP provides a platform for RKBA advocates and GCR advocates to work together towards goals that actually do reduce the number of unjustified and accidental gun deaths.
