Who the fuck thought we'd be winning a gun control debate in this day and age?

Thank you to the eloquent young men and ladies from MSD. This is the positive side of social media. They've gotten more shit done than we have since the expiration of the Assault Weapons Ban.

But I agree the early returns are encouraging. It’s like Noam Chomsky said (paraphrasing)....The people of America just don’t realize what a powerful force they are when working together to force change and fight the powers of government and major influence groups such as big corporations.
