A new coalition of celebrities and activists, including actor Alyssa Milano and Parkland student David Hogg, announced plans Friday to take on the National Rifle Association and elected officials who accept money from the powerful gun advocacy group.

In an open letter to NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre, which was first obtained by TIME, the more than 100 members of the newly formed NoRA Initiative — short for No Rifle Association — pledge to reduce the NRA’s influence in American politics through a series of voter registration drives, nationwide art campaigns, demonstrations and boycotts.

I’m sure Mr. Lapierre is ever so frightened. He’ll just use this to recruit more members. I’m almost convinced he’s in cahoots with these clowns.

“NoRA’s members include Jimmy Kimmel, Amy Schumer, Alec Baldwin, Ashley Judd, Julianne Moore, Patton Oswalt, Constance Wu, W. Kamau Bell, Amber Tamblyn, Debra Messing, Minnie Driver, Tarana Burke, as well as several artists, policy experts and survivors of gun violence.”

Top notch list of has-been and never-was #ers.

They raised a whole $25,000 in two months with 100 celebrities involved - that is sad.

Wayne needs to get word out even stronger that clowns like the NoRA want to destroy our inalienable right to own guns- turn this right around on them- use their anti-second amendment agenda to push more people to buy guns and join the NRA- Plat it up big time0- pour money into advertising and make the clowns sad that they ever decided to tangle with the NRA

Take on the NRA? The NRA’s resources are dwarfed by those of the other side. The NRA survives only because it is close to America’s grass roots.

Is that list different than the last time they took on the NRA? I keep losing track of their losing to the NRA.

Another harebrained idea from the Famous Actors Guild (no need to figure out the acronym for this!).
