So there are good uses for firearms such as shooting sports, hunting, self-defense, and law enforcement.

And there are bad uses for firearms such as committing crime, expressing rage. and suicide.

I don’t think any reasonable people have a problem with the first bunch.

For the second one, comprehensive background checks for ownership and improved mental health diagnosis and access to treatment would improve things tremendously.

But when you look at the function of the NRA it isn’t about any of that stuff. The NRA exists to increase firearm sales at any cost.

And considering how they have presented their agenda to the American people lately the NRA is probably more of a threat to 2nd amendment rights than a guardian of them.

The 95% of gun owners who are not members of the NRA should squish the NRA like a bug and tell Wayne LaPierre and Ted Nugent to go get fucked.
