Why is it that every time some mentally defective person goes into a school or movie theatre or any other public place (which is 9/10 times a gun free zone) and shoots up the joint, the NRA gets blamed? Are people actually so ignorant to think that the person who committed the atrocity was a card carrying member of the NRA? Or is this just a cop-out by the low information voter crowd who likes to blame a tool and not their own failed gun free zone policies? So, what say you RP?

NO, the NRA is not to blame. The NRA however, is an easy target.

They are the biggest name out there that supports gun rights, so of course they are the biggest target. But they know that and are prepared to fight for our rights when many others just simply give in to society.

I have to disagree, john. They aren't the biggest supporter. The founders in the 2nd Amendment speak for the people. We didn't take oaths to the NRA, but we did to the US Constitution.

Cpl (Join to see) How many people do you know of who have taken the oath but still ignore/redefine/disregard the 2nd Amendment?

I today's context, SFC (Join to see) is right -- the NRA is the biggest, most recognizable name among supporters of gun rights, and therefore the biggest target.

It wasn't the NRA that caused the shootings. It wasn't the gun that caused the shootings. It was the individual that did the shootings.

But let's not forget, it was the anti-gun crowd that made the gun-free zones that invited the mass shootings in the first place.

Oh I know, and they sit back and wonder why no one at the schools stopped them. I carry concealed, and I know it isn't right, but I have been places where I probably shouldn't have been, with a gun in my pocket. But if my kids are there, it is my responsibility as a parent to protect them, no matter what. I would give my life protecting them and if I went to jail for carrying illegally, and my kids survived, it would be worth it and I have done my job as dad.
