Fairfax, Va. The National Rifle Association of America is made up of over 4 million moms and dads, daughters and sons, who are involved in the national conversation about how to prevent a tragedy like Newtown from ever happening again. We attended todays White House meeting to discuss how to keep our children safe and were prepared to have a meaningful conversation about school safety, mental health issues, the marketing of violence to our kids and the collapse of federal prosecutions of violent criminals.
We were disappointed with how little this meeting had to do with keeping our children safe and how much it had to do with an agenda to attack the Second Amendment. While claiming that no policy proposals would be prejudged, this Task Force spent most of its time on proposed restrictions on lawful firearms owners honest, taxpaying, hardworking Americans. It is unfortunate that this Administration continues to insist on pushing failed solutions to our nations most pressing problems. We will not allow law-abiding gun owners to be blamed for the acts of criminals and madmen. Instead, we will now take our commitment and meaningful contributions to members of congress of both parties who are interested in having an honest conversation about what works and what does not.

(16,993 posts)The NRA doesn't even practice what they preach. They did a sweep of the room before the NRA press conference. What? No guns allowed? Seems they'd want EVERYONE in the room to have a gun, the more guns in the hands of "good guys" the better, right?
So, what's the problem NRA? Hard to tell the difference between a good guy and a bad guy? Yeah, it's the same for everyone else. The solution should be the same as well: NO GUNS IN THE ROOM.
