You can’t. If you are like most gun-control advocates, you don’t know enough about the NRA to even have a strategy.First and foremost, you aren’t going to be able to outlaw the NRA. You have no grounds upon which to make a case that the NRA is a threat to public safety or is engaged in sedition. Forget the hype and just trust me, you don’t have a case for making the NRA illegal.Unlike every anti-gun group, the NRA is composed of dues-paying members - six million as of the latest information. This is one thing that sets it apart from every gun-control group: supporters don’t just mouse-click their support, they pay for it.Also unlike every anti-gun group, the NRA’s board of directors is elected by the membership. A few other answers to this question suggested buying a boatload of memberships but that won’t work. In order to vote in the NRA board elections, a person must be a NRA member for five consecutive years or have a fully paid-up life membership. But it doesn’t stop there; only a third of board seats come open every year, so it would take six years to load the board with enough moles to either disband or change the course of the association. There is not a single anti-gun group that has elections of any kind. Their leadership is apparently by divine right or something. Perhaps there is a laying on of hands by Michael Bloomberg.The NRA is not a shill for the gun makers. The firearms industry has its own group, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, which is its trade association and lobbying group. The NRA advances the interests of gun owners. When the interests of gun owners and the industry align, the NRA and the NSSF may work together. However, there have been times in the past when certain gun companies have been targeted by the NRA because the NRA felt those companies were selling out the interests of gun owners.The NRA is not supported by the gun companies. Roughly 60% of its revenue comes directly from members for dues, subscriptions and purchases of NRA merchandise. Members also pay program fees, which boost their share even higher. The majority of the money from the gun industry is payment for paid advertising in NRA media. Only about 18% of the NRA’s revenue comes from gifts, grants and similar sources. This includes member donations above and beyond the annual dues, bequests by members and any additional funds contributed by the gun industry.The NRA’s strength does not come from “buying” politicians. While some elected officials have received significant sums of money, the sums that are reported in the media are aggregates of the total amount of money received over a period of years. The typical politician receiving a donation from the NRA in a particular campaign gets a couple thousand dollars.The NRA’s strength comes from its ability to mobilize millions of adults, including a large number of gun owners that aren’t members, to vote for candidates that will advance, or at least protect, their interests. There are probably somewhere close to 90 million gun owners in the U.S. That’s more than the total populations of most of the countries in the world, including all of those countries gun-control fans love to compare with the U.S. Not all of those gun owners have the same opinions, but a significant percentage of them don’t share the agenda of the gun-control fans.Those that rely on polls should keep in mind that the pollsters said Hillary Clinton would win the 2016 Presidential election and that the Democrats would take control of the Senate.There is a question that those wishing the NRA would go away need to answer: Why would you wish for the demise of the most moderate of the major gun-rights groups?Virtually every other pro-gun group is more hard-core than the NRA. Gun Owners of America, which claims over a million dues-paying members, says that all gun restrictions are unconstitutional and should be declared illegal.With the NRA gone, memberships in these other groups would skyrocket, as would their treasuries.Are you really up for that battle?

Well, the problem with the question is that voting was not uniform across the UK.Here’s Scotland, supporting Remain (yellow) in every voting area.London was pretty much solid Remain, but with five boroughs on the less-urban/more-rural peripheries supporting Leave (Blue).We start to see something different with Northern Ireland, which also had an overall Remain majority. Remain had the majority in the constituencies closest to the Republic, but Leave in the north-east, apart from three of the four Belfast constituencies, and North Down.Wales has a Leave majority, and most areas reflect that, with the exception of Ceredigion and Gwynedd on the north-east coast, and Vale of Glamorgan, Cardiff, and Monmouth on the south coast. There is, incidentally, no actual statistical evidence for the revisionist claims that Wales only had a Leave majority because of “English” retirees. Sure, some areas with a lot of people born in England did have Leave majorities, but then so did some areas with the fewest numbers, while the same can be said about Remain majority areas and their varying degrees of “English” residents.I won’t bother showing England by the nine Regions it was split into, as a high-level UK map will suffice.The Remain majorities are generally larger towns and cities, and while it is not totally clear-cut, there is a definite correlation between larger population size and Remain support. This is the list of the 30 largest cities, in descending order of the votes as a proxy for population size:The general reality is that, in England at least, Leave won in rural areas and small towns, while urban areas/large cities supported Remain. There was also a correlation between deprivation and Leave support, as opposed to prosperity and Remain support. This is no more evident than in Kingston upon Hull, where I was born and spent my childhood, as opposed to Leeds and London, where I have lived my adult life.All images from Results of the 2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum - Wikipedia.

The one that doesn’t show.The one that pumps life into all the other organs that makes you, you.Your heart.I’ve traveled around the world and have been met with jokes about how Americans have gigantic servings for meals. Americans are fat.Here is the biggest newsflash: The entire world is getting fat.Here is the share of adults that were either overweight or obese 45 years ago.Here it is in 2016.The change is insane. If we want to see the change in deaths attributed to high blood pressure, we can look at how it killed in 1990:And how that number is killing nearly double in 2017:Our hearts were not made for this. In fact, they can’t keep up with it. They’re giving up. While there may be other muscles we should be thinking about on the outside, the message in the last five decades is relatively clear: We need to think about how we’re treating our heart. When over 2/3 of the population of each modernized country is overweight, we don’t have a choice. High blood pressure isn’t giving people time to stop and weigh their options.The heart needs to be the healthiest muscle in our body. Our weight needs to come down. We need to go out for a walk, or a run, or a jog, or a whatever.Exercising needs to be less about what the perfect technique is and more about how to generally get into better cardiovascular form. It’s the greatest paradox that I live in a city where gym memberships are advertised on every corner and, yet, the population doesn’t need to actually get any healthier. From the last generation to this one, we are getting sicker.The best thing you can do for yourself is to get outside and get winded for an hour or two.It doesn’t need to be intense. It doesn’t need to make you vomit. It doesn’t need to go on for hours without end.It needs to be something you can stick to consistently. A few miles for a walk. A mile run. Maybe a class someone is teaching at a local gym. After that, your next move should be to supplement that exercise; learning about macronutrients and what you’re giving your body. We need to understand from a simple viewpoint; what makes protein necessary and how calorie totals play a role in our progressive weight gain.Getting our heart back in shape is the best way to feel amazing and take control of our lives. Without it, you’ll never get to the point of building any strength or working on any other muscle.Your heart won’t allow it.
