Ok, so I'm sick of seeing all these various sites that are really just another Brady site in disguise. (Gun Guys, 50caliberterror, freedomstatesalliance, etc...) I was also thinking about how the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence site produces a score card that isn't scored by a state having less violent crime but rather by it's gun control measures and how a higher score (more gun control) usually means a higher violent crime rate.
Then the idea came... "citizens against violence" or some other catchy "we're against violence" phrase. It could be used to promoted things like CCW to protect against violent criminals. It could also be used to push our version of "reasonable" gun control. When Brady et al. attacks groups like the NRA, people know that the NRA has a vested interest in guns but to attack a non-violence organization would be just plain wrong.
This works on several levels, I'm sure most people here on the high road already believe in responsible gun ownership and seek to reduce violent crimes. Those who do carry aren't interested in committing violent crimes but rather preventing them.
I'm posting this here because I just don't have the time or knowledge to setup an organization like this. I'd certainly be willing to help out in any way I can but with two kids (one 4 months the other 3 years) free time is rather hard to come by. So if anyone wants to take this on I think it could really help the right to keep and bear arms fight.
