Since they're overwhelmingly liberal no it's not surprising to anyone.

If you actually wanted to "do something" about school slaughterers you wouldn't focus on the AR-15 and ignore what creates the shooters in the first place. Guns have been around for hundreds of years, semi autos with high capacity magazines have been around for over 100 years. You aren't looking for a solution, you're looking for a scapegoat.

Dang with a list that long maybe half or more of the American population itself are now radical activists.

I wonder, what did America do in the 20th century maybe open the door to every radical in the world to migrate in and set up shop? America was practically a libertarian country 300 years previously.

a one year membership was $40.

I hope others are joining or renewing their membership to the NRA today all across America.

Why, yes, isn't that list encouraging !! With backers like those, this movement should be very successful. Thank you OP for providing that list, I feel so much better now, and reassured that a lot of Americans do care about our kids and our future.

What a wonderful list !!

I am not an NRA member but probably have to join just on principle. Even though I hate lobbyists.

If one tenth of one percent of the people from all those organizations show up, I would be shocked. Most of those looney organizations just want their name attached and that’s all.
