For what it's worth...

I am a newly minted member of the freshly formed Boulder County Citizens Against Gun Violence. And yes, we are looking for a better acronym! Currently the group consists of the 21 folks who attended the nonpartisan meeting last night in Lafayette, with attendees ranging from Westminster to Boulder to Longmont.

Good for you! A suggested acronym (okay, it’s a bit blunt): Citizens Ending Awfully Shitty Events For Infinity. Really, Enough.

I've recently been listening to what happened in Australia after they enacted their tougher gun laws. In the 10+ years since there have been no mass shootings - imagine that! If only Americans could learn from your example.

Yes, truly inspirational.

[aussiepeach]

I wish they could. America's gun culture is appalling. Honestly, if you're not a cop, a licensed hunter who uses rifles (we use 'em for rabbits, roos and foxes etc) or a sportsperson, you don't need a gun. That's it.

I'm jabbing rather pointlessly at the screen to 'like' this - and the suggested name for the group. Double like even.

LOL! I'll share that with the Ceasefire group; they might get a laugh.
