History of the NRA and NRA’s Dominance in Modern-Day Gun Politics

In an ideal world, the NRA would be the leading advocate for rational, public–protective gun policies, instead of advocating for all guns, all the time, for all people. The guest from the NRA proved early on that he was not a respectful person with his “joke” about his opposition to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). He also criticized Michael Bloomberg and Mayors Against Illegal Guns for their “black and white” view of the problems of gun policy. But who is more “black and white” than the NRA, which plumps up paranoia among ill-informed gun owners with their “Get your guns while you still can” line on gun show advertisements? No politician would dare to suggest limiting gun ownership–that horse has been out of the barn so long, it’ll never be found. Still, who feels safer with a paranoid neighbor bristling with guns and a sense of being under attack?
