The new initiative aims to advocate for gun control and to chip away at the National Rifle Association's political influence.
Less than a month after March for Our Lives events swept through American cities to protest gun violence, a group of Hollywood stars including Alyssa Milano, Amy Schumer and Alec Baldwin have partnered with Parkland, Fla., students, activists and policy experts to launch a new initiative aimed at advocating for gun control and reducing the political influence of the National Rifle Association.
The No Rifle Association initiative (#NoRA) announced its formation and goals in a letter to NRA executive vp Wayne LaPierre on Friday. It was signed by over 130 celebrities and activists including Parkland shooting survivors David Hogg and Cameron Kasky, #MeToo founder Tarana Burke, Ashley Judd, W. Kamau Bell, Don Cheadle, Minnie Driver, Jon Favreau, Nathan Fillion, Jordan Horowitz, Jimmy Kimmel, Julianne Moore, Michael Moore, Patton Oswalt, Annabella Sciorra, Jill Soloway, Amber Tamblyn and Constance Wu.
"We’re going to shine a bright light on what you and your organization do to America. We’re going to make sure the whole world sees your bloody hands. We’re coming for your money. We’re coming for your puppets. And we’re going to win," the strongly worded letter announces.
The letter says the #NoRA movement will "rais[e] the voices of all victims of gun violence," citing as examples people from communities of color, which are disproportionately affected by gun violence, women who have survived domestic violence and children who have died in shootings. The letter also says that the organization intends to "counterac[t] the influence of NRA money in the political system."

If the NRA was evil these people would be dead.
Bring it, bitches.
Or else put some teeth in your belief. Invade Cabela’s and start knocking over displays. Yell at customers holding an AR-15. Block the entrances. Scream “Murderers!!” at patrons.
Get your message across, IOW. You’ll make lots of converts.
NRA will increase it’s membership!
Chaz Bono,
Eliza Orlins NY lawyer, Survivor contestant.
Ashley Judd nasty woman
Lol, the “strongly worded letter.”
I’d like to see the letter they sent to their fellow employers about the violence in their product.
Wait, you say they didn’t send one?
Well, doesn’t that make them hypocrites?
Not that hypocrisy ever stopped Hollywood....

Thankful that no adults were involved.
Three stupid and ignorant people.
Once the baby boomers are gone, the following generations will gladly give up guns or have never owned any, and then whatever tyrannical government is in place will have their way with these sheep, going to their slaughter. It’s the fact that so many citizens own guns, that the government is held in check.
No?
Then what in the blue f*** does the NRA have to do with "gun violence" in any way, shape, or form?
I'm not currently a member, but I think I will join the NRA, simply BECAUSE of these low-wattage pukes.
I'll even give "Alec Baldwin and Patton Oswalt" as my reason for joining, if they ask.
There the ones firing weapons in their movies killing lots of people.
The ignorance of these three is one reason most people are ignoring them. The NWO liberals, Muslim lovers and people of that ilk are really anti-NRA and have not a clue what the NRA does but most importantly the NWOs et al do not understand the Constitution or the the Bill of Rights. Shame on them. The NRA understands both very well. Additionally, I believe I am correct in saying no NRA member has ever gone bonkers with a gun and killed children (pleural) or numbers of adults at the same time. I am not even aware of one NRA member having killed on person on purpose. The NRA is a hard act to follow. Thank God for the NRA!!
Excellent post.
“It’s the fact that so many citizens own guns, that the government is held in check.”
Money quote of the day!
FReepers, remember that whenever gun control is introduced in Congress or anywhere else. And please to note my tagline.
And these Hollywood lights have ALL signed a pledge to NEVER handle a gun (prop or otherwise) in any movie or other production and to dismiss ALL of their armed real-world security details and bodyguards. Terrible thing, hypocrasy.
We have these pledges in hand? Right?
Are they going to give up their armed security? f em
When will they demand gun free award shows, comic cons, and fire their bodyguards?
