The NRA--like so many conservative orgs--seeks to distract us by trying to keep the gun control conversation focused on the FEDERAL level.

But: ALEC.

The NRA works through ALEC to push cookie-cutter legislation to willing, paid shills who return to their states, introduce Wild West legislation, and--who knows?

We know this. Why are the DNC and many of our fellow Democrats operating like we've forgotten it? Agreed, there's a lot to take in, but state level offense is pretty damn fundamental, ultimately, to inning at the top.

We need a BOTTOM-UP strategy.
