Can I add my name to the NRA's Emeny List? [View all]

Is there a petition to them to add our own names to their "hit list"? As the wife of a Life Member of the NRA in a Household with guns, do not count me in your gun owners list. I would like very much to be considered one of your "gun grabbers". I would like nothing more than these guns in my home to be GONE.

I would like to see not only universal background checks, I would like to see universal background checks for everyone in that HOUSEHOLD. Can you say Nancy Lanza? I would like an end to the "honor system" gun gifts with just the gift giver undergoing a background check. Give a gift of a gun, even to a FAMILY MEMBER, THAT person must undergo a background check also. MAJOR Loophole here. Trust that "good guy" to give a gun gift to somebody who might have a felony or mental illness? Why should the recipient of this gift not have to go through a background check also. Why should only SALES of guns require background checks? I also favor universal REGISTRATION for all guns, whether a sale or a gift. This would go even farther to keep track of guns.

I would like not only background checks for TRANSFERS of guns, but also for every member of that household, and one also for gifts. I favor all the President's gun violence proposals from those assault weapons, number of clips, etc. I admit I am not technically up to par on this, despite living in a one of your gun households (sic). I choose NOT to be. While you probably cannot understand this, NRA, understand that it is MY RIGHT as an American citizen too.

So, NRA, I think I qualify as one of your "gun grabbers". I want to be added to your enemies list.
