As long as the gun lobby has influence on elections throughout the country nothing will change. For change to happen a huge ground swell of anti-gun sentiment is needed to dump politicians who think guns and killing kids is a wonderful "right".

Make this happen and laws throughout the land, including constitutional amendments, will change to what essentially is a near total ban on gun ownership.

As with past significant changes this will come from the young. You want to influence the young, do it with a sustained appeal via the entertainment industry that the young are drawn to.

Something like the Live Aid concert held in 1985 only with a different purpose. Save our Children sort of thing. Concerts and other celebrity endorsed activities will generate the cash needed to outspend and get rid of the fuckwit politicians who are funded by the gun lobby.

No idea who the current equivalents to Queen and Bob Geldof are today but whoever you are get your asses in gear and like Live Aid the money will pour in from folks like me who sent $100 of my hard earned cash. I close, as I often do, with a vid. Enjoy and Stop the Killing!
