#26: Fighting the NRA

Published: April 1, 2013, 9:37 p.m.

\nOn today's program, we explore a question that until not long ago, would've seemed hopeless: how do you beat the NRA?\n\nWe start with a guest on the front lines of a fight over a gun violence prevention law in her home state of Minnesota, where the NRA, even after Newtown, still seems nearly impossible to defeat. But our next guest\u2014who works on the gun-violence team of a certain Michael R Bloomberg\u2014brings stories from not one, but two states where the NRA's might has been overwhelmed by the combined forces of common sense, real information, and well-financed organizing both at the grasstops and the grassroots. Bullets aren't the only things flying through the air: there's also hope.\n\nSign Rebecca Lowen's petition for gun violence prevention in Minnesota\xa0http://fsj.fm/mnguns\n\nJoin the national grassroots movement demanding action on gun violence, powered by Mayors Against Illegal Guns:\xa0http://demandaction.org/\n\nOur guests:\n\n
