Waking The Sleeping Giant On Gun Control: The PTA

[billh58]

7. More truth from the linked OP:

Over the years, the Gun Lobby — with a cynical assist from conservative judges — has warped that original intent into some kind of carte blanche entitlement, whereby any American who hasn’t been to prison (no matter how angry or unstable) gets to carry around a portable killing machine or two.

As a result, we now have more than 300 million guns in this country and more gun fatalities than any other industrialized nation.

But it’s pointless to argue these facts with gun advocates. And it’s really not necessary. Our role at this point should be to champion our own cause, not to debate people who believe that assault weapons keep us all safe.

So the next time you take part in a meeting of your local PTA or PTO, please stand up and raise the issue of what your organization plans to do to fight for sane gun laws. There’s no reason that children (and parents) in the most prosperous nation on earth should live in fear of the next nut with a toxic grievance and easy access to an arsenal.

Support a gun control organization of your choice today, and urge your fellow PTA/PTO members to join you in helping to rid this nation of the gun violence which has been enabled by the profit-driven, right-wing gun lobby.
