Stevieslaw: Defund the National Rifle Association
In a startlingly rapid response to the latest mass shooting, members of the National Rifle Association used social media to circulate a petition calling for leaders of the group to stop their opposition of sensible gun regulations. Fully 83% of the 4.5 million members of the NRA pledged to suspend their memberships and their payment of dues until the leadership steps down or changes its policy. Said James Baldwin, leader of the dissident group, “Most members of the NRA are for reasonable gun regulations—like stricter background checks. By withholding money from the NRA, we withhold the blood money paid to our local and congressional leaders to block any and every gun legislation.”
“We will change them or starve them,” Baldwin concluded.
