The New York Times reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“The gun-control group Everytown for Gun Safety<\/a> plans to spend $3 million to recruit and train its volunteers to run for office, with a goal of having 200 enter races in the next election cycle … Everytown\u2019s new program, called Demand a Seat<\/a>, will begin this fall and will involve training in the nuts and bolts of running a campaign, as well as instruction from advocates-turned-legislators … It is aimed at members of Moms Demand Action<\/a> and Students Demand Action<\/a>, two arms of Everytown, which is backed by Michael R. Bloomberg<\/a> …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gun control is and always will be a stinker of an issue. There is no way candidates can win building a campaign around. This has to be a proxy for the hard Left.<\/p>\n

“… [State Representative Jo Ella Hoye<\/a>] and [Congresswoman Lucy McBath] will advise the program\u2019s participants, as will, among others, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms of Atlanta<\/a>, a Democrat; former Mayor Mitch Landrieu of New Orleans<\/a>, a Democrat; and former Representative David Jolly of Florida<\/a>, who was a Republican while in office but has since left the party …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This evidence supports my suspicion.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, groups like SAF<\/a> or FPC<\/a> and maybe NRA-ILA<\/a>, should consider putting together similar programs.<\/p>\n
