If teachers strike nationally, could they bring the NRA to its knees?

Have you seen the school forums when there’s a snow day? LOL, no......

The NRA will never care. But congress might.

I'm not OP, but my idea would be that the teachers would continue to do childcare in the classrooms but refuse to actually teach. Since an uneducated population affects everyone (not just parents and students), theoretically the government should care about it. Was that what you had in mind, OP?

Trump thrives on an uneducated population. The GOP would be in its glory.

Seventy-four years ago today Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, leading to the imprisonment of over 100,000 persons of Japanese ancestry (as well as thousands of German and Italian ancestry) for the duration of World War II.

It was for "the children".

No, it wasn't. There is no mention of "the children". It was for (or rather, was supposed to be for) protection against espionage and sabotage. You can read it here: https://www.archives.gov/historical-docs/todays-doc/?dod-date=219

However, speaking of FDR, one of FDR's four freedoms was freedom from fear.

demand Congress pass legislation to keep us safe from gun violence at our schools
Congress must take meaningful action to keep us safe and pass federal gun reform legislation that address the public health crisis of gun violence.
politicians are telling us that now is not the time to talk about guns. March For Our Lives believes the time is now. On March 24, the kids and families of March For Our Lives will take to the streets of Washington, DC to demand that their lives and safety become a priority.

Look! Some states are listening for the calls for them to "do something"! Maybe Congress will follow.

Alabama has proposed a change in their law: http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/national/proposed-bill-would-allow-teachers-to-carry-guns-at-school-in-alabama

Legislation has been introduced in Colorado: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/feb/19/columbine-survivor-bill-concealed-carry-schools/

Kentucky is considering a bill: https://www.npr.org/2018/02/19/587121635/proposal-to-allow-guns-in-kentucky-schools
