one way or another as is seen on this board. I seem to remember a poll years ago and a significant portion of the board owned firearms. After such
a horrific event strong feelings would be natural on both sides. If they do have people out there doing this it would be a waste of their time and money.

4.2 million nra members. 4% of gun owners and a little over 1% of Americans. Seems many, if most members don't often agree with the NRA politics.

After every incident of mass gun violence, sent by the gun lobby to "educate" the ignorant Liberals.

Happens every time.

Bye.

the right wing gun nuts are always concerned and anxious to defend their bizarre gun fetish when a national news incident involving guns takes place.
