The gun lobby has been at this for decades while supporters of curtailing gun violence have been isolated. The Brady organization and Handgun Control have been alone against the NRA, GOA, and a host of other gun and sporting organizations and industry lobby's.

At last we have Mayors Against Illegal Guns, Mothers Demand Action, Sandy Hook Promise, Americans for Responsible Solutions, Brady and others. There has been a tipping point. We have the numbers. It will take time. And energy. And money.

But Goddamit we're NOT GOING AWAY.
