Subject: RE: BS: Guns in the USA
When I was a kid, the NRA (National Rifle Association) was a moderate group that taught hunter safety and responsible gun ownership. It even supported many gun control laws.

Over the last 20 years, the NRA became radicalized, and now resists any restrictions on gun ownership whatsoever. Its magazines are full of enticing photos of assault rifles - that aren't meant for hunting game.

The most blatantly offensive U.S. gun manufacturer is Bushmaster. I suspect the company has made big money being known as the gun used in the Sandy Hook murders in Connecticut.
