State lawmakers launch gun control coalition

"Some 200 lawmakers from 50 states have joined the alliance, American State Legislators for Gun Violence Prevention, said the group's founder, Democratic New York State Assembly member Brian Kavanagh.

Kavanagh told a news conference the group would focus on state-level gun control reforms, including the prevention of interstate gun trafficking and tightening background checks on buyers."

Seems the gun lobby is gathering more and more opposition. I think the halcyon days are shortly to be over for the NRA and the other fetishists.
