Coalition of Celebrities and Activists Just Pledged to Take On The NRA
On Friday, a new coalition of celebrities and activists, including Alyssa Milano, Jimmy Kimmel, Amy Schumer, Alec Baldwin, Ashley Judd, Parkland High School student advocate David Hogg, and many others announced plans to take on the National Rifle Association and the politicians who accept money from the powerful gun lobby.
In an open letter to NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre, members of the newly formed NoRA Initiative — pledge to reduce the NRA’s influence in American politics through a series of voter registration drives, nationwide art campaigns, demonstrations and boycotts.
“Your time signing checks in our blood is up,” the letter says. “We’re coming for your money. We’re coming for your puppets. And we’re going to win.”
Actress Alyssa Milano said the coalition was conceived on Feb. 15, the day after the Parkland shootings. She began reaching out to her circle of friends, many of whom are activists, to work together to combat gun violence and the influence of the NRA.
“It was a plea, ‘Can we please do something about this? We’re smart people. We can figure this out,” she said.

Because celebrities lecturing people about how wrong they are to have things like freedom and opinions has worked so well before. Luckily, Milano followers were not so happy about this.
Seeing repeatedly simulated scenes and images of violence does not cause violence (which I agree with by the way), but the NRA does?

What a freakin' joke. I hope these same actors stop acting in movies that have any gun violence and any movie that has any violence towards women. Doubt that would happen. HYPOCRITES. This is a battle that they will LOSE.

Let's say you take on the NRA and win. What then? I'm genuinely asking. What's the goal? Which guns laws are the NRA keeping in place/keeping out that you celebs will push through?

Yes, because they are all distinguished members of Hollywood. ( insert sarcasm ) I think you should move your focus to the sexual misbehavior in you industry before you go after anything else or is #MeToo sooo yesterday?

A hundred of them…. Five or so million of US! Plus, we’ve got a Constitution behind us.
Yeah, this ain’t going nowhere… its easy for celebrities to go against the NRA in order to try and rip off our 2nd amendment when they have guns N bodyguards to protect them. Their actions might actually make the NRA’s membership numbers INCREASE! If only they would go after planned Parenthood with such zeal! How much blood is on their hands for supporting such evil?!

Last coalalition falled. Trump still became president
The celebrities who live in the Hollywood bubble are hilarious. Gee, it must take great courage to advocate for political causes that are strongly supported by an insular, elitist industry that pays so well. What trailblazers! Yawn. Hmm, doesn’t it seem curious that an entire industry is so left-wing? Heck, that must mean that there are no creative people worthy of Hollywood that aren’t liberal. What good luck for these multi-billion dollar entertainment companies: no creative people who disagree with them.
Please take a look at this new Kickstarter campaign for a CONSERVATIVE COMEDY show called Ringg Leeder. If you agree with it, spread the word. A show like Ringg Leeder can never be funded in Hollywood, so if it is to be funded it must be from that half of the population that Hollywood ignores.
Here’s a link, or go to Kickstarter and write Ringg Leeder in the “search” box.

Do you wish to stop the gun violence – stop the violent video first person shooter games. It teaches kids nothing but violence, and if they die in the game – they just get back and play some more. I here 8 years kids talking about playing Call of Duty – a game with an 18+ rating.
Those parents are promoting the teaching of violence in America – I watched what games my kids could play and made sure they only got age appropriate games.
The real problem is not with guns but with people themselves – look at Kimmel bullying the First Lady. If the did that to Michelle, they would have been thrown out with the trash.
