What are you proposing, and what difference do you see coming from it?
It's why the NRA always wins. Because the NRA simpletons want to have guns. And what does the NRA brass do? Makes sure the simpletons can have guns. That place is running on rails. Even when the NRA simpletons are like "Hey, maybe we should make a couple concessions." NRA brass knows better, and shuts that shit down, and doesn't give an inch.
They don't have more people than the opposition. They don't have more money than the opposition. They don't have the popularity of the opposition. They don't have the media love of the opposition.
So why do they always win? At some point, somebody is going to say "hmm, maybe the people steering the ship filled with us dullards isn't actually acting on our behalf!?" Because that's the difference. The NRA leadership wants to keep guns for all their members. And the opposition leadership wants to get money and votes. The majority of people in positions of power representing the marchers just don't care about the substance of the march. It's just a tool to be used for their own purposes.
You can almost hear a Frank Underwood monologue as the video of the marches is playing.
