Gun control groups merging

Two antigun groups are merging:

“Two of the most vocal gun control advocacy groups in the United States recently announced that they are joining forces. Americans for Responsible Solutions, founded by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and astronaut Mark Kelly, and the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence announced on Wednesday that the two groups are merging to “create a bold new force for smart gun laws.” …”

Baloney.

They are merging in a effort to appear relevant.  Far Left astroturf groups do this all the time to keep their issue fresh before the public and sympathetic media.  The Brady Campaign did that with the Million Mom March and Mayor Bloomberg followed suit with MAIG and MDA.

“… Advocates say the merger also elevates the organization’s capability on a national scale, putting it on the same level as Everytown for Gun Safety, another gun control group that formed after a merger between Mayors Against Illegal Guns and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America …”

No.

Michael Bloomberg has effectively unlimited personal resources to pour into his projects.  Everytown will continue to exist as long as it amuses him.  The others will have to beg for money from wealthy donors and foundations to keep their operations going and that will require them to produce some sort of results favorable to their cause.  If they were good at that they would not have to keep reshuffling their businesses.
