<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Why SLAM! the NRA?
On April 20, 1999, two teenagers armed with semi-automatic weapons, shotguns, and pipe-bombs stormed Columbine High School and killed 12 students and a teacher and wounded twenty-four others before killing themselves. They were able to get their guns because of loopholes in our gun laws, loopholes that exist largely thanks to the National Rifle Association. Despite this tragedy and the mass shootings that followed at day care centers, offices and churches, the NRA’s bullying tactics and big money have prevented Congress from passing common-sense gun-control laws needed to keep guns out of the wrong hands.
The result? Since Columbine, more than 22,000 people have been killed with guns in America. We lose nearly 12 children a day to gun violence in this country. That’s a Columbine every day. Why doesn’t the NRA care?
Once known for its marksmanship, hunting and firearms training programs, the NRA has become an extremist organization that opposes all rational restrictions on firearms. For years they have opposed measures like the Brady Law, the Federal Assault Weapons Ban and even attempts to ban “cop-killer” bullets. What’s more, they have made it a priority to put more guns on our streets by pushing to make it easier for almost anyone, “even stalkers, domestic abusers and child molesters”, to carry handguns in public places.
We are SLAM!ing the NRA for:
- Perpetuating the myth that the Second Amendment guarantees a broad, individual right to possess firearms and that it precludes any reasonable gun laws;
- Calling federal law enforcement agents “jack-booted thugs” and constantly undermining the efforts of law enforcement agencies to make our communities safe.
- Helping to make our federal gun laws so weak that a child can legally buy an AK-47;
-Making sure that there are no consumer protection standards for firearms;
-Making it as easy for criminals and minors to by guns at gun shows as it is for them to buy milk at grocery stores;
-Opposing safe storage laws that hold adult owners criminally responsible if a child gains access to an unsecured gun;
- Promoting firearms as an essential part of American life.
It’s time the NRA stop putting its narrow special interests ahead of the safety of all Americans.
The overwhelming majority of Americans are saying, “Enough is enough.” Why won’t the NRA listen? Because today’s NRA stands for “No Rational Argument.”

Amazing, ain't it -- become a two-bit muso and suddenly you're an authority on society and how it should be run.
