NRA has distorted the 2nd Amendment and is making the US a more dangerous place!

The 2nd Amendment has been hijacked by the NRA.  Now, the NRA is not pushing for reasonable laws which require training and penalties for crimes committed with guns.  Now the NRA has gone totally Right Wing and insist that all people have guns and be free to use them if they are scared.  (Stand Your Ground Laws.)   The change of course is making the NRA lots of money because they are now an arm of the gun companies.  The more guns sold, the more money which the NRA gets.

the 300 million guns in personal hands in the U.S. are increasing for sure.
With the mass murders, it is the NRA that is most culpable. The NRA has been transformed from an organization primarily about gun safety to one taken over by gun zealots. The NRA protects the ability of virtually anyone to get their hands on guns, even the most powerful assault weapons like those used in recent killings. This is in stark contrast to the rest of the developed world. For the NRA, "freedom" is now defined as the ability to carry a concealed handgun virtually anyplace.
