TIAThe possible answer to that logical question is that the NRA is mostly a lobbying arm for gun manufacturers....They want for ANYONE who wants to buy a gun to be able to buy it (them)......Simple as that....business and profits.
Again, you'll have people that will argue and who don't want any background checks, and more than likely it's because they can't pass one.
Then the second argurment is well, what if we have to defend ourselves against our own government. Well, they have tanks, and predator droners, so your automatic military style weapon is not going to protect you from that anyway.
Just stupidity all around.
Our forefathers never intended this blood bath of innocents when they wrote the 2nd amendment.
You think they did intend a bloodbath of innocents?
10 mass shootings so far this year in the US with 112 dead and 531 wounded. How many in the 1770s?

I agree! She said this in an interview with Chris Matthews on MSNBC earlier this evening. I was an NRA member and strong supporter for several years - until it was hijacked by radicals in 1977. I would like to see a "rival" organization like the NRA was before it was hijacked by radicals.
How NRA’s true believers converted a marksmanship group into a mighty gun lobby
In gun lore it’s known as the Revolt at Cincinnati. On May 21, 1977, and into the morning of May 22, a rump caucus of gun rights radicals took over the annual meeting of the National Rifle Association.
The rebels wore orange-blaze hunting caps. They spoke on walkie-talkies as they worked the floor of the sweltering convention hall. They suspected that the NRA leaders had turned off the air-conditioning in hopes that the rabble-rousers would lose enthusiasm.
The Old Guard was caught by surprise. The NRA officers sat up front, on a dais, observing their demise. The organization, about a century old already, was thoroughly mainstream and bipartisan, focusing on hunting, conservation and marksmanship. It taught Boy Scouts how to shoot safely. But the world had changed, and everything was more political now. The rebels saw the NRA leaders as elites who lacked the heart and conviction to fight against gun-control legislation.

Very true 9 out of 10 gun owners in this country want background, mental health background checks, etc. They don't want themselves or families to be shot and killed by crazies either.
The only ones that don't want background checks are the ones that couldn't pass one.
90 percent of Americans want expanded background checks on guns. Why isn’t this a political slam dunk?
They're going to have to ban military assault type weapons also. This is getting to be too much--all they're used for is people killers.

I don't see a left leaning true rival to the NRA as possible because twice as many gun owners are republicans as democrats. Furthermore, dedicated owners who own multiple guns are 4 times more likely to vote republican. Easy access to firearms vs government controlled access is a basic difference between the parties and that's not likely to change. So American will continue to lead the world in firearms deaths and will always be considered a violent society.I agree!

Isn't it odd that the same people who cheered the Iraqi resistance and their dependence on the small arms passed out by Saddam now say a resistance based on small arms would not be successful here?
Dimwit, remember this???

I don't see such a resistance growing here in the US, but I am struck by the 180 switch.
Well again, what are you going to do against the U.S. miltary--that is armed with predator drones and tanks? That's why Iraq fell so easily when first invaded. They're no match for the U.S. Military.
No one needs an AK-47 or other assault type weapon to defend themselves in this country. There is no hip holser, you're not going to be able to conceal it for a concealed weapons permit--and if you can't use a pistol, shotgun or hunting rifle to defend yourself--then you've got some serious issues with your shooting accuracy, and need to head out to a gun range for practice.
The exact same can be said of the left with regard to abortion. The difference: one has supporters who believe in the choice to defend against a “criminal” on a rampage, while the other believes in the choice to kill another unable to defend themselves.
Yeah...the Hungarians didn't have guns...moron.

Americans use their guns 1,500,000 times a year to stop violent criminal who rape, rob and murder innocent people......and yet......
We went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 16.3 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2017...guess what happened...

Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware
Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.
