Gun Control Reform Activism

your statement: "I'd support any politician that offers a plan with real numbers and will hold themselves responsible if it doesn't achieve those goals." presupposes that ANY Democratic plan to reduce gun violence would stand a chance in Hell of making it through a Republican-controlled Congressional Committee.

I believe that the best that we can hope for is to take back the House and the Senate, and in doing so elect Democrats who are willing to take on the ALEC/NRA gun lobby. Too many Democrats are lackeys of the gun lobby, which leads to the "false promises" that you point out.

In the mean time, grass roots efforts to spread the word about the gun violence epidemic which is plaguing this country, and to support Democrats who are willing to take a stand against the gun lobby seem to be our best course of action.
