What puzzles me from a distance is why your NRA appears to be so opposed to what sound like very sensible gun controls which would be very much in the interests of any sensible gun owner.

It's as if our Automobile Association was dedicated to abolishing all speed limits and opposed to driving tests and driving licences.

I'd have thought that an organisation representing gun owners would be leading advocates for stuff like that.

The logical conclusion from the slogan "guns don't kill people - people kill people" ought surely to be to do eveything possible to stop guns getting into the hands of people who can't be trusted to use them responsibly.
