Educating the public, help pass sane gun laws
You're saying that every movement requires an economic component. Can you talk about yours, for sane gun laws?
If there are 100 million who want sane gun laws, how many oppose them?
NRA has 4 million members, but 3 million are okay with reasonable laws, so it's a million.
Why don't you tell me what sane gun laws are?
cost per gun homicide-- $400,000, and there are 10,000 a year.
So, the insurance would be if that gun was used in a homicide?
States should issue the insurance and self insure?
Of course you're going to get the opposition of the Republicans and libertarians who oppose the government doing anything.
So you say We're not asking anymore. You're going to deliver economic pain to elements of states that you oppose?
HOw are you going to do it. I'm going to join the boycott against Starbucks.
What other actions are you working on?
Have you heard of the Small Penis Gun Club that Thom Hartmann created?

You've got a boycott going after Starbucks. Are there other companies or plans you have?
One more thing-- the truth is that the gun lobby is not really about the hunters who are members of the NRA, it's the gun manufacturers, right?
