We have lost to the NRA because they have the bucks. Bottom line is we need an anti NRA with bucks

that can lobby better than the NRA. Doesn't it come down to $ and lobbying power or am I missing something? Thoughts?

By the way. I am for gun ownership but want some common sense gun controls.

Hopefully he takes on the role you described. Can't agree with him on a lot of things, but on guns, yes.

All the money the Koch Bros, Adelson, etc. threw at it, and they LOST.

We CAN defeat Big Money.
