Do you really understand the NRA?
It claims to be an organization to benefit gun owners. In fact, it is an organization to exploit gun owners and support the interests of gun manufacturers, importers and distributors. The basically responsible gun owners who pay dues are overwhelmingly in favor of reasonable regulations for gun safety. The people who make big money off guns want no restrictions at all.
Yes, local chapters promote gun safety and do all sorts of good things. But like many another national organization, the interests of the local, grass-roots chapters and the interests of the national lobbying efforts are quite different.

Yes, very well.
"on the role of gun-rights outfits like the NRA (and its many, often more rabid, imitators), all of whom in the end are really the well-financed arm of weapons manufacturers, and how they have polluted not just American discourse, but our very way of life itself.
They have done this by several means. One, as Moyers notes, is the legal fraud they have foisted onto the public (and now the courts) with their insistent claim that the Second Amendment confers an individual right to own any weapon a person likes. But the other, perhaps more significant, and decidedly more toxic, pollution of American life has been the gun fetishists' violent worldview, manifested in the permeation of guns into all corners of our modern culture -- particularly those where males are involved."

The blatent truth rather you want to believe it or not mental heath is a scam to have control of the people. With registry lists they'll just start having corrupt doctors signing schizophrenic diagnosis to everybody that doesn't agree with the government. President Obama's gun grab has been planned for many years, so is regime change to tyranny. The shooter was a patsy, that's why the police radio said there was more then one shooter and Adam had his brothers ID. Tyrants like to rule with an iron fist, Obama is making this obvious because he hates Americans and wants us to know it. He's enraging his supporters to socially engineer a civil war with those that support him and those who don't.

The CIA’s use of mind control to create killers is a matter of historical record. MK-ULTRA was the code name for a covert, illegal CIA human research program, run by the Office of Scientific Intelligence that came to light in 1975 through investigations by the Church Committee, and by a presidential commission known as the Rockefeller Commission. 14-year CIA veteran Victor Marchetti insists that the program is ongoing and has not been abandoned.
"It seems to me perfectly in the cards that there will be within the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing…a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods.” ALDOUS HUXLEY, quoted in John Marks, The Search for the Manchurian Candidate: The CIA and Mind Control, 1980.
