LaPierre will also appear on NBC’s Meet the Press this Sunday"

No wonder the NRA and it's associates don't want to have assault weapon control...they make too much Profit. It's been said that the gun sellers had the most profitable day after the Sandy Hook killings.
Another note:
Who the hell have we become by pleading to the NRA for gun control? Since when did the NRA own America?
In honor of all the "movers" who have parished, I have become a "changer". I like shooting my guns, but not to kill or harm people. I don't own assault weapons because I don't plan on killing anyone. I realize assault weapons are to some people as muscle cars are to others. But we gotta have more contol over these powerful weapons. Maybe ration the guns and ammunition?? Find the companies and businesses that contribute or support the NRA, then have a consumer strike until they pull away from or contribute more money to the mess left behind by these mentally-ill killers??
These are just a few ideas. It's my contribution of being one of "The Changers"
