8. Fair point.

I think it's worth posting because I think the author's larger point is that we really need to think outside the box when taking on a billion dollar lobbying juggernaut like the NRA. I don't know if subverting the NRA from within is a realistic concept, certainly not within a few years. But it sure didn't start out the way it is now.

Anyway, my apologies, it was not my intention to make my first post in this group seem like a drive-by. My personal view is that nuts like Wayne LaPierre and his ilk need to be taken out of the lobbying equation as they do not represent the majority of opinion by any stretch of the imagination. What's the best way to do it? I'm open to suggestions, but as a long range idea, I think Mr. Frost-Barnes, even with his tongue in cheek, might be on to something.
