......this would after all eliminate corruption of the NRA? There are liberal gun users that could lobby this; right?

If not, I believe after the old white men die....and I am one of them, the young guns (no pun intended) may be at war with these pricks who want to expand things their own way.

I'm just worried about my grand kids.

By the way I like to hunt and fish....I just do not think this corruption is good for this country.
