Wouldn;t this be a much better country if a group like the NRA (or, maybe, an actual gun rights advocacy group) was actively courting a democratic candidate for meaningful reform to how we address our gun laws? Never going to happen, so long as the parties use it as a stumping lever to coerce a vote....and particularly so long as one party has willingly set themselves up in mortal opposition to gun rights.
Most of all they're in the pockets of the weapons industry. As far as I am informed the NRA wasn't always as it appears today. I don't know how legit the sources are that I read, but it seems they once stood for responsible and partly regulated gun ownership and represented actual people instead of industrial lobbies.
