Al Sharpton Can Fix The NRA

Rev. Al Sharpton can do a great thing for America: he can fix the NRA.  Quite simply, he should make NRA membership the biggest focus of his grass roots organizing and community activism.  Through his excellent and entertaining television show and National Action Network, Rev. Al can promote the benefits of NRA membership by minorities and urban residents, groups who are wildly underrepresented in the NRA in 2013.  Those benefits will be to change the focus of the NRA itself.  If the NRA's membership be doubled or tripled with an influx of non-white members, the organization could be made into a true advocate for gun safety and for the Second Amendment.  That is not an easy task, but it is not complicated.  With the NRA neutralized as a domestic terrorist organization and morphed into a grassroots advocacy group, the political dynamic of guns and race in America can be changed.  Facing up to our history is an integral part of saving ourselves from senseless gun murder.
