What a wonderful way to turn the ignominious jargon of the NRA and its legislative cronies into a positive call. If you can find her speech at the march, watch it. We need to stand our ground and not go back. The greater coalition must hold or we will go back.

I hope other people are energized and inspired by this to get out and advocate, agitate and educate.

Everyone has a voice now, unlike 50 years ago.
Whether or not that is a good thing is left up for debate.
