re: #374 Belafon

Wayne’s worst nightmare has come true: Fewer people are afraid of the NRA, thanks to a bunch of kids refusing to cower after a massacre. Politicians, mostly on the left, are finally recognizing that the NRA is not as powerful as they seem.

The National Rifle Association itself claims a membership of about three million people. That’s less than one percent of the US populace. If you only count those of voting age, that number is somewhere around two percent.

With all those businesses bailing out now with the press from the Parkland teenagers and their friends and fellow survivors all around the country, the NRA is in real trouble. They cannot seize the message, and they’re lashing out.
