The March of progress

[Aimless]

Their ultimate goal is to reduce gun violence, school shootings in particular. Their strategy involves organizing and sustaining massive popular support that'll help them reduce the NRA's influence on American politics. They're doing this by both making their opposition to the NRA's policies very clear (giving politicians reason to believe they don't have to shill for the NRA to win) and by organizing voters--especially teens who'll be eligible to vote on the upcoming elections--in order to vote out of office those politicians who've received funding and endorsements from the NRA. The marches and coverage represent one successful step. If they vote politicians who've been rated A by the NRA out of office, or force incumbents to take positions the NRA opposes, that'd be another success. Specific policy positions include stricter background checks, closing loopholes, bans on certain kinds of firearms etc. An interesting development is that Rubio recently expressed support for letting the CDC study firearms-related injuries and deaths again. Getting that ban lifted would also represent success. Now, would you like to whine some more or are you ready to take off the bow-tie?

Ironically when anti-gun legislation and anti-gun movements gain traction, more guns are sold. Trump's electoral win actually probably wasn't a great thing for gun makers.

So if these guys do manage to do things like push the envelope on guns we'll actually see more guns in circulation.
