Sure thing, Greg. But my mention was in the solid context of the influence of lobbies in the US, of which the NRA is just one. Large corporations exert similar undemocratic influence.

I believe I should have been able to say what I did, which was germane to the thread discussion, without that happening. I'm pretty straightforward and I have better things to do than to cause mischief. But yep, let's stick to the gun lobby. I am trying.
