It is entirely predictable that there will be two kinds of people who immediately jump up and blame the NRA after firearms are used in crimes:
1. The anti-gun, anti-Second Amendment crowd who are lying about the circumstances and know it, and....
2. The abysmally ignorant who don't know the facts and simply buy in to the lies of the #1 crowd.
There is no law or group of laws that will protect us from evil men or mad men intent upon committing evil acts.

I am very pro gun, am a gun owner and did 22 years in the military fighting for the second amendment as well as the rest of the constitution. I being a well informed person who disagrees with the anti gun/2nd amendment crowd know that evil will never be eliminated, but the NRA is an EVIL that we can do something about. The NRA uses the 2nd amendment as a means to more money and membership. No one is trying to take our guns away, but many buy into that fantasy and send their dollars to the laughing NRA.
