Uh-huh, sure they are. Right. Talk about fake news. You'll believe anything Wayne LaPierre and that hot brunette tell you, won't ya?

It's estimated that well less than 5% of the population belong to the NRA.

If you would listen closely to what the vast majority of people are saying you'd know that the goal is not to take away guns or gun owner rights, but rather to ban assault rifles. But the NRA, as is their tradition, never ever budges one inch. There is never a possibility of negotiation. It's like being married to a nightmare of a wife (or husband, for Shari and Mayela).

There were no assault weapons when the second amendment was written. We don't get to have grenades, bazookas, and napalm--why can't we ban assault rifles too so that the next time some crazy jackass wants to shoot up a crowd, he'll be limited in how much carnage he can produce? It's called the NRA, not the NARA.

The NRA would become more respected by the masses and membership would actually go up if only they would occasionally show signs of being reasonable. But to them, sensibility is a weakness.
