19. Not even the Brady Campaign,

the organization the NRA seems to view as its arch nemesis.

"The Brady Campaign does not support banning all guns, or even all handguns, and says so publicly every time it is asked and often when it is not asked. "
from Lethal Logic by Dennis A. Hennigan

what they do want:

"There are sensible standards that we can and should insist upon when it comes to gun ownership."
from A Good Fight by Sarah Brady

The NRA stokes its members with lies and distortions, and gets much traction with its members by making itself out as a martyr.
