So I’m in Minnesota and the DFL endorsed candidate for governor, Erin Murphy, has stated as one of her goals being to “Stop the NRA”.

Sheesh!

Okay, “Stop the NRA”, from doing what exactly?
1. Publishing a 200 plus page report on making schools safer? (The NRA did this in 2012 after Sandy Hook.)
2. Lobbying Congress?
3. Printing “The American Rifleman”?
4. Running the Eddie Eagle gun safety classes?
5. Sponsoring various shooting tournaments?
6. Providing firearms instructional classes?

Probably a lot more things I'm missing.

I guess “Stop the NRA” is enough of a catch phrase if you’re a politician today.

Very sad.
