The NRA is no longer concerned with the rights of gun owners. The NRA has become a money-making machine with main purpose being to pad the wallets of management and pay off politicians. In fact, by showing absolute unwillingness to compromise they are becoming a threat to responsible gun owners. Add in a fringe element - NRA supporters actually threatening children who survived the latest school massacre - and the group is becoming the face of political peril (regardless of your thoughts on firearms most of us realize how disgusting and flat-out chicken it is to threaten these kids. Yet the bigwigs, the millionaires in management at the NRA who have become rich off your dues are strangely silent.) At some point the scales tip, and politicians continuing to accept money from the NRA will be finding themselves un-electable. By continuing to show unwillingness to do the right thing, to become part of the solution, the NRA will devolve into a small, unimportant fringe group of haters. Threatening school kids who managed to avoid being shredded in the latest massacre. Responsible members should demand immediate change - or separate from the organization. The NRA is becoming a very visible reason for more gun control. (I am fully aware none of this will happen. What WILL happen is things will settle down again, we'll all kinda forget, and instead find something else to concern ourselves with. God knows there's enough other stuff to worry about. Then another massacre will happen a bunch more kids shot to pieces. There will be much crying and gnashing of teeth. Again. The NRA will continue its convenient misinterpretation of the Constitution will continue to blame everyone except those responsible and will continue to pull in massive sums of money to buy politicians and shower on management. The circle will keep going round and round. The only winners in this uniquely American tragedy will continue to be the wealthy elite on the top rungs of the NRA.
