This is an interesting group, coming at the gun violence thing another way. They are calling for everyone, individuals and investment firms alike to divest all gun and ammo makers from their portfolios.

This article from the VPC.org website claims that the movement, along with a dip gun sales, has cost the industry $171,000,000 and some manufacturer’s stocks are falling.

Everytown’s Not One More postcard campaign has delivered 2 million postcards to congress, some reports say 2.4 million.

Things are starting to happen. This isn’t a sprint it’s a marathon. We’ve got 40 years of gun propaganda to overcome. As billh58 says, support a gun control group of your choice.

1. Follow the money, and it

leads directly to the right-wing gun lobby and their marketing arm, the NRA. Thanks for this post.

2. On the surface

this sounds encouraging. It will be a long haul though. Hope they stay the course.

3. Not THEY, WE.

And I for one will.

I own guns, rather a lot of them, and have been background checked by everybody between Eric Holder and the local animal control officer.

There's has to be a sensible way to do the same for anyone else to do the same.

Support a gun control group of your choice.

and I agree with we. It will be a long haul with the NRA though. I think the approach of the OP and the links provided is an excellent way to start.
