Gun Control Reform Activism

It is here and it is pretty much unstoppable. If as a people we are less culturally appreciative of guns in our own lives and indeed feel that guns are pretty much a net minus to their well-being in a more urban, less rural, setting, you don't have to go out preaching to them.

Mike Bloomberg is funding one such effort with a tub of his own money: mothers (in somewhat the model of MADD). I am not sure his approach will work, but his money will certainly buy a lot of air time and other publicity.

As I said, what WILL make the difference is the change in the way people live their lives in our society. If it doesn't make sense to tote a gun, or support people who do (and those are people you don't know or live around), your support is going to dwindle. The relevance of the gun in more and more people's lives will be a negative for the NRA simply because that relevance will be in the form a more violence, more death, more suffering. Who wants that?
