The NRA once was dedicated to safe gun handling and good shooting. Now it's dedicated to gun proliferation. It wants to put more guns on American streets and it doesn't care who has them. It's all about selling not shooting.
more idiocy. you just constantly lie because you are butt hurt over the fact that the NRA funds and supports candidates who are not far left moon bats such as you
NOt at all.
The NRA used to support sensible gun laws.
When Ronald Reagan (as governor) passed a law in response to the Black Panthers walking around with guns to intimidate people, the NRA supported that law.
laws that target law abiding people are by definition non sensible
it is illegal for criminals to own any firearms. magazine limits, assault "weapon" bans etc are not sensible at all
laws that enhance penalties on criminals who use a firearm in a crime of violence are sensible.
the NRA had to get more political when the Dem party started using gun control as a shield against the proper claims by some conservatives in the 60s that Dems were weak on street crime. So DEMS adopted gun control to pretend they were DOING SOMETHING, when in reality they were not hurting a major constituency-black street criminals and said supporters of black street criminals. The NRA had to get political to counterattack pissing on our rights by the DNC
I'm sure this is what you believe.
Now here's the reality.
The NRA became the tool of the gun manufacturers, but the gun manufacturers had a problem.
People weren't hunting anymore. Moreover, less people were choosing to have guns in their homes.
So faced with declining sales, the gun manufacturers focused their efforts on selling more guns to less people. This is why Nancy Lanza was armed like the Zombie Apocalypse was coming. Because while most of us see preppers as nuts, the gun manufacturers look at them like prime customers.
And how do you keep Nancy scared? Why, by making sure that criminals and crazy people have access to guns.
