Why is it that the NRA can't even have an adult conversation about tho topic of gun violence (With whom, Joe Biden? pleeeeze....the President?...nope..he's off bodysurfing in Hawaii for a few weeks and at a cost of many millions for his entertainment as the country slides into economic distress, but we've got his number if we need to get in touch...right???...how about Harry Reid?...he can't pass a budget never mind have an adult conversation.....the attorney general...he's not big on conversations and they are usually 1 way and race related... )without going into near apoplexy over the notion that a weapon was even at the crime scene? tough to find a good productive conversation these days...ain't it?
The NRA has the potential here to add constructive representation to the firearm violence discussion which is going to happen this year like it or not ( I'm pretty sure there's been a long ongoing discussion on the topic of firearm violence)...but this early position I think has done much to hurt their credibility and likely their membership as well. membership appears to be soaring
