No other first world nation would tolerate this level of daily carnage.
Interesting, over 100 million firearms owners, of which only 5 million are NRA members , and you think the NRA controls the country ? That is some laughable $hit right there.

Lefties aren't good at math. They flood the Liberal Arts degree programs and subsequently strive to become shift manager at Starbies.

NRA = money to politicians (and accompanying marching orders) which gives them clout FAR beyond their numbers

Why are you a member? Or are you?

You have proof of that ? Regardless, what does the NRA have to do with a 17 year old that decided to kill his peers that he didn't like with illegally attained firearms ?

And , no, neither my wife and i are not members at the moment. Been meaning to renew our memberships.

Most schools shooters are kids, under 21.

Pass laws requiring parents with kids living at home under 21, to secure/lock all guns in house. If any crimes committed with those guns by kid under 21, charge the parent with the same crime. Send a few of these parents to jail, school shootings will plummet.

They don't make a secret about it. It's their reason for existence. Since the 80's.

My question about membership revolves around what you think they do for you that's worth a fee.

What it has to do with anything, revolves around fighting every single attempt at reasonable regulations with fear monger "they're coming for your guns!!!" type rhetoric.

Who determines what's "reasonable"? That's the problem.

When you decide, as the NRA has, that ANY regulation is unreasonable, you don't leave any room for discussion, do you? I'm not against pro 2nd amendment groups, just this particular one.

Registration and insurance. More importantly, a side representing gun owners, like myself, that don't think the lefties "are gonna take our guns!!!
