If the NRA doesn't bag a lefty from time to time, they don't think they are doing their jobs.

NRA manuals and membership guides were found in Osama Bin Laden's terrorist training camps, mind you. In two days Osamas friends can walk into any gun store in the USA. buy a gun that can unload 30 cop-killing rounds in five seconds into a school building full of children, and I'm supposed to feel safer against terrorism?

As a hunter, life-long gun owner and expert marksman, the NRA does not represent my views, nor the views of the mainstream gun owner. They are nothing more than a marketing mechanism intent on making sure every inner-city 13-year old is armed and dangerous.

If sensble gun control was good enough for Wyatt Earp and the citizens of Dodge, then it's good enough for me.

I still can't see why 3,000 dead on 9/11 means we have to give up all our rights, except for the second amendment; but 30,000 gun deaths a year doesn't justify a reasonable discussion on gun ownership.

Some people have no right to own a gun. The list of those people starts with folks who can't properly identify a target before they pull the trigger. Of course that would include George WMD Bush. Just look what he did when he failed to properly identify a target.

Geroge WMD Bush. What good is it if you're quick on the draw when you can't shoot straight?
