The NRA has actually been very effective considering they only have 4.5 million members.  There are tens of millions of people who eat up whatever the NRA puts out there.

The government is not going to take everyone's guns.  We just need some common sense regulation.  And I believe that if there was a politically neutral gun owners association it would also be in favor of reasonable regulations like registration and licensing.

You can't drive a car without proving you are not putting other people in danger.  The same should be required to own something as deadly as a gun.

I actually agree with you, on your opinion of the NRA.
I also agree with the license, as people need to be proven competent.

The NRA is a corrupt lobbying juggernaut.
Even when I was a member, they CONTINUALLY called with messages of doom and gloom, trying to pry more money out of me.
