Interesting read and take. A lot of big lobbying groups have fallen after thinking they were too big to go down. Could the NRA be the next one to bite the dust? The author brings up some good points, but me personally I'm not totally sold. What do you think Rally Point?

NRA is not too big to fail SSG Warren Swan. It is made up of people from many different backgrounds as far as its supporters are concerned. If it failed another organization would quickly take its place.
I am neither a member of the NRA nor a gun owner at the present time. While I don't agree with all of the viewpoints expressed by the NRA, I concur with their views of responsible gun ownership and the second amendment to the US Constitution.

Thanks Sir, but with that said, I don't see at this point in America how they could. If there ever was a second coming of McCarthyism we'd be in it now. Are you more 'Murican than your neighbor? No? We're feeding off paranoia rather than actual unbiased facts. It's that paranoia that I think will keep the NRA in business.

SSG Warren Swan - I am not more American; but, as a citizen of the USA I am in the minority among the neighbors.
Many of my neighbors are illegal aliens from central America and therefore are American. Last month we had a gang execution of a central American high school student 1/4 a mile away by members of the gang from his home country soon after he arrived here.
I know many NRA members and none of them are paranoid. From what I have observed over the last 59 years is that the people who are opposed to gun ownership tend to have more paranoid folk among them that those who are law abiding gun owners and their supporters.

LTC Stephen F. - Ohh Sir that wasn't meant to ask if you personally were more American than the next, using it as a way some would question your "loyalty" to the "party" line. Should've expressed it better. That's a damn shame what happened to that kid. I can't say I agree with your last because I don't have that much time on earth yet to make that kind of informed observation. I believe lamestream media does it's part to keep folks on the fence or jumping over it scared it would be them next. The media does not help the situation at all

Hopefully Not. I hope Americans get Angry Enough about Dead Children to do something.

we have a problem with the media BS about all the children getting shot but most of the shooting are gangs and thugs and will always have illegal guns.

It's not the NRA fault that there are people trying to get ride of them and trying to control guns. But the truth is the only one you will hurt with gun control are the honest and upstanding people. The people who hurt or just gun lovers. No matter how hard they try there will be guns out there for sale that the criminals and low life's will get there hands on.
They will break into houses and steal them they will find a way to get them in from Mexico or other country. I sorry for all the Innocent lives that have been lost to street gangs and just people not using common sense.
I like my guns and I love to hunt, but I will not kill something that I will not eat. I do not believe in just shooting animals just to kill them. I could go on forever but I will end here.
