Wrong. As long as people say nothing can be done, nothing will change.
From homicides to suicides and preventable "accidental" shootings, gun violence among Orange County's youth haunts our community. We cannot sit idly by and watch the number of gun deaths soar.
The compelling need to spur action, create change and end the violence motivated the league to form this grassroots initiative to address the crisis. We advocate smart gun laws, a movement in which all citizens can participate.

The only logical sense I can make of their irrational approach is that they must truly believe that it is actually the mere presence of a gun that makes one do evil, and if guns could be magically made to go away, we'd all be able to live in harmony.
sigh...

(18,318 posts)one's commitment to the "cause" is held in question. It 's kind of a macho thing: "I got more commitment because I can grind more baloney than you!"

(6,185 posts)This has to be about the 143rd version of a counter to the NRA.
Aside from the fraudulent "Gun Safety" name tag, problem is it's just another organization with no infrastructure and a "hopeful" (to be kind) grass roots system.
I doubt you'll bother to keep track of their progress, any more than you follow up on any of your other "oh so hopeful" gun control posts.

(6,185 posts)The poster in question must have cut and pasted at least a couple of dozen stories of the "new group to take down the NRA".
Not once have they ever suggested sending actual money out of their own "activist" pockets to support those groups.
That's about the depth of their "commitment" to gun control.
