I can remember going to the Sears store sporting goods department two blocks away,
and looking at all the rifles and guns on display (they weren’t locked down).
The NRA was around then and for many years before (NRA founded 1871),
but there where no mass school shootings.
Not even rampant gun violence on Chicago's southside!

My post, the one to which you respond did not blame the NRA in anyway.
I was simply pointing out the total hypocrisy of North, who I used to admire actually.
My feelings on the WHY I expressed already but they are not well received at all, and ignored actually.
But, my intent was not to blame the NRA. My feeling is that is much too easy, and we seem to look for easy anymore.
Complex problems do not go away with a flip of a few words.
