Hopefully, you don't consider postal workers NRA members.....
Adam Lanza.

According to the New York Times, "The police also found a certificate from the National Rifle Association bearing the name Adam Lanza" at the Lanza home.

Nice try but your wrong

Although the discovery of the certificates and the guide led some to assume Lanza and his mom were members of the NRA, the gun rights group says the truth is completely otherwise: "There is no record of a relationship between Newtown killer Adam Lanza, nor between Nancy Lanza, A. Lanza or N. Lanza, with the National Rifle Association. Reporting to the contrary is reckless, false, and defamatory."

NRA certificates can be acquired by passing certain pistol safety and training courses around the country. These certificates do not necessarily represent an NRA membership, but rather signify that the NRA has endorsed the safety or training course.

OK, Adam Lanza took an NRA safety and training course. I guess he failed. Right?

So you don't want to admit that Adam Lanza failed the gun safety course? I'm not talking about whatever grade he earned, I'm talking about in real life.

The problem is psychotropic drugs, not whatever weapons are handy.

In the aftermath of the Sandy Hook school massacre, it was divulged that Lanza suffered from Asperger syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder characterized by difficulties with social interaction.

Although there is no cure, the symptoms of Asperger’s are commonly treated with Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), psychotropic drugs that have been linked with violent outbursts.

Almost every mass shooter in recent history was taking or had just come off one form of psychotropic medication, a connection that is routinely downplayed by the establishment and the media, who in the aftermath of the Newtown tragedy instead blamed the massacre on the second amendment.

Adam Lanza was a crazy person. You seem to believe that since Adam Lanza is a crazy person and owns a gun: therefor, everyone who owns a gun is crazy.

8 year olds can see through your reasoning. The world becomes a slightly dumber place everytime you use this argument.

Or the 10 killed in Afghanistan this weekend. When will their parents get equal time on 60 minutes to beg an end to the violence?

It's time for the Department of Justice to prosecute the organization on criminal charges. That's how I see it.
The ACLU is against background checks as being proposed also.
