Hey, John,

I noticed a familiar face in a recent issue of American Rifleman. (Yes, I really read it. You’ve got to keep your friends close and enemies closer, after all.)

To no one’s surprise, the NRA took out a full-page ad bashing me — and by extension, all of the folks who are a part of this movement to reform our gun laws, make progressive change, and elect the next generation of bold, young leaders.

The ads in these magazines are always good for a laugh — but this kind of stuff also reminds me how scared of us they really are. I’ve said it before, but Gen Z will most certainly outlive the NRA. The gun lobby’s glory days are behind them now.

This image is from a real NRA ad in a recent issue of American Rifleman.

The best way to fight back against the NRA’s fear-mongering is to show them that we aren’t going away by bringing the school shooting generation into office. 

B y splitting a donation between Leaders We Deserve and Blue Amp Action today, you’ll be playing a big part in powering our work to elect the next generation of leaders and put the NRA and their puppet politicians in the dustbin of history where they belong. Split $25 now to help us do it. 

Thank you,

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
