Lerer Ventures' Ken Lerer: We Are Going To Launch StopTheNRA.com
Today at Disrupt NY, Ken Lerer and Ben Lerer took the stage to talk about Lerer Ventures and their respective entrepreneur stories. One thing that caught the attention of the audience is when Ken Lerer talked about gun control and a new StopTheNRA.com website. “We are going to launch StopTheNRA.com,” Ken Lerer said. The site should be up in about two weeks. They already own the domain name and it’s now just a matter of time. It will be a partnership with Mayor Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns and Gabrielle Giffords’ Americans for Responsible Solutions initiatives. The motivation behind this new site is to be more vocal about gun control. “We are doing something viral,” Ken Lerer said. A very significant gun control bill was voted by the Senate a few weeks ago. But the effort to expand background checks for gun buyers failed and the government is back to square one. When asked about New York politics, Ken Lerer only had good things to say about Mayor Bloomberg. “Spectacular” was the word he used to describe him. “His or her successor may not be as knowledgeable as him,” he continued. That’s why he chose not to express a preference for the front-runners of the upcoming election.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/XzGw5nrbyHU/
