Gun-regulation groups rebuilding after NRA dominance

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/01/13/gun-regulation-groups/1823735/

...Former representative Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head and seriously wounded in a January 2011 shooting in Tucson that killed six, started a new super PAC, Americans for Responsible Solutions, aimed at supporting political candidates who favor "common sense" measures on guns.

Steve Mostyn, a Houston trial lawyer, said he was donating $1 million to Giffords' group and expects other to join him. Mostyn gave $4 million to Priorities USA Action, the super PAC that backed President Obama's re-election last year...

...The involvement of Giffords and her husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly, has "helped change the equation" in favor of more gun regulations, Glaze said.

Their super PAC is modeled after one created last year by Bloomberg, Independence USA, which spent $8 million in the final weeks of the 2012 election and helped oust pro-gun Rep. Joe Baca, D-Calif., with a final-day advertising blitz. The group raised $400,000 Tuesday, said Mostyn, who is also the super PAC's treasurer...

...you seem unaware that I intensely dislike the NRA:

The NRA *and* the Brady Campaign(s) might be both be headed to the dustheap...
...of history, and I couldn't be happier about it. The sooner the armed wing of the Republican Party and the
crypto-Prohibitionists are gone, the better.

Why I'm not going to rejoin the NRA just yet.

No point in donating money to people that piss on the President, while accepting Mitt's AWB.


Let me give you some free advice: Unless you're ready to play water polo, don't jump into the pool...
