Thursday's the day ... to give the NRA a dose of its own obnoxious medicine

The NRA, which has been torturing heartbroken Newtown residents with anti-gun-control robo-calls, is going to get an earful on Thursday.
That’s when angry residents are planning to protest outside the NRA’s outpost in the Connecticut town where a madman armed with a Bushmaster assault rifle slaughtered 20 first-graders and six staffers at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

The demonstration is set to kick off around 4:30 p.m. at the National Shooting Sports Foundation -- 3 miles from the school.
The NRA’s tactics are “incomprehensible and repulsive,” said Dave Ackert of The Newtown Action Alliance.

Why Are These Six Democratic Senators On The Fence About Universal Background Checks?
by Aviva Shen and Adam Peck, thinkprogress.org -- Mar 26, 2013
After axing the assault weapons ban from the Senate’s comprehensive gun violence prevention plan, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is struggling to scrape together enough votes to pass the centerpiece of the plan: universal background checks. Republicans are refusing to vote for it, and even several Democrats in red states are wavering on their support. According to Greg Sargent at the Washington Post, these key votes include Senators Kay Hagan (D-NC), Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Mark Pryor (D-AR), Joe Donnelly (D-IN), and Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND).
