Gun Control Reform Activism

elison: Do they really think we're going to give up? Does the NRA wing-nut cabal really think they've won

I voted No but with a caveat that guncontrol has been activated for decades, & we're not just starting to fight etc.. iow, I voted No, rather than Yes they think we'll give up. NRA won a battle, not the war.

lizzie: The only voice on that side of the debate that one ever hears is that of the NRA, and their positions are extremist..

I think what mayor bloomburg could do, is prepare or fund a documentary expose' about the nra, it's deceptive practices throughout the past 3 decades, it's outright fraud, it's buying off politicians. Read HWBush's nra resignation letter from his life membership, as well as norman schwarzkopf's similar resignation from nra.
Show clips of ted nugent spewing profanity while straddling assault rifles, & wayno's 'jack booted thugs' remark, as well as his sickminded claims that clinton enjoyed hearing of childrens gundeaths since it bolstered guncontrol efforts - surprised wayno didn't take that very tack last december, missed a 'golden opp' redirected at obama? yuck, but same thing different decade.
Yeah, show charlton heston with his musket above his head shouting 'from my cold dead hands' and then read charlton heston's ~1968 letter where he supported the 1968 guncontrol act after robt kennedy was shot.
Cite Jack Anderson's expose' book on the nra from ~1996 - 'Inside the NRA, Armed & Dangerous' where he listed some of what I speak of - tho nra brags of it's members voting politicians out, only about 4% of it's own members vote in it's own nra elections!
Show how the nra misleads about firearm statistics, & portended - in it's own nra half hour tv clip - how london was aflame & britons unable to defend themselves against rioters since no handguns (the rioting would've been 10 times worse with guns involved). Show how the nra LIED about australian gun buyback of 96/97 where they said blood was running in the streets, prompting aussie PM howard to insist to nra to stop with their slander.
Explain the diff between the 80 million gun owners in america & the few hundred thousand which buy into nra far rightwing cretinism.

EXPOSE POLITICIANS WHICH RECEIVE NRA FUNDING & THE AMOUNTS.

It couldn't just be an hour long documentary, would take a 10 part series. At least.

Don't try to dance with the devil, show him as the devil he is.
