This would disagree with you.
Presser still attaches the right to bear arms to the condition of militia membership. It wasn't until Heller that the individual right to bear arms, independent of an organized militia, was recognized as a right. That case was just a decade ago, this year.

I will concur that the NRA can go too far, but I'll take an organization defending a constitutional right being overzealous at times to not zealous enough.
I don't think anyone needs one, but it doesn't mean I think they should be barred from owning one. Hardly an extremist view when the data would support my position based on the number of shots fired in the vast majority of civilian defensive situations or the number of rounds required for hunting.

It can make Fox look like CNN.
