The anti-gun people are driven from the top down. The NRA and gun people are for the most part truly grass roots. The NRA folks aren't career oriented. The Angry mom bunch at the top seem to be mostly poilitical paid careerist. The angry mom group claims 3 Million members. I don't know where these people come from, but I would bet they aren't dues paying devoted members. Even the financing for the NRA comes from hundreds of businesses and millions of members. The angry mommies get their mony mostly from Soros, and Bloomberg. Very little from the grass roots.chasfm11 wrote:I may be the only one that thinks this way but I find it amazing that the anti-gun groups remain as dedicated as they are, given the breadth and quantity of their losses. They have a lot of tenacity. And despite the divisions, some of them bitter, the entire Liberal group seems very dedicated. Conservatives and perhaps Libertarians start eating one another over their disagreements. When it comes to the business at hand, they "seem" a lot more steadfast than we are.
It is a good thing that they are trying to champion very flawed arguments. While it is tempting to snicker at the opposition when it appears to be in disarray, don't be surprised if suddenly put their differences aside and re-attack. Most of the ones that I've talked to are zealots. They might intensely dislike each other but they hate gun rights advocates and all that we stand for. My impression is that the hatred goes far deeper than gun issues.
The angry mommies tend to speak as one because they behave and speak what the leadership dictates. Us gun people tend to speak for ourselves.
