what it used to when I was a kid. Now it's simply a radical organization supporting gun and ammo manufacturers. And I know I'll be crucified for this thread, but the NRA DOES NOT speak for all of its members, me included. Wayne LaPierre has been bought and paid for by the above lobby, and that's a real shame for responsible gun owners like myself who want SENSIBLE checks on weapons purchases. Mr. LaPierre, and his staff, have changed the meaning of the leadership of the NRA to; NO RESPONSIBLE ADULTS. When an organization has to lie and intimidate to get its way, the time has come when regular folks need to speak up; like the 80% of members who are for stricter controls.I wonder how the NRA officials would handle talking to the families of Newtown, Ct., whose children were torn to pieces by a high caliber gun: even First Responders had to turn their eyes from the carnage that confronted them. I hope to God common sense returns to gun folks who buy into all the propaganda handed out by LaPierre & Co. before our beloved country tears itself apart. :usa:
