These are automatic rifles that fire dozens of rounds before requiring reloading. How long will the NRA shirk its responsibility to support legislation that sets reasonable limits on (A) who can legally own firearms and (B) which firearms pose too great a risk of harming or killing Americans and, therefore, must be controlled or banned for the safety of all? What could possibly motivate that influential organization to continue with its present philosophy and lobbying to Congress? Surely people don’t have to be told the answer to that question! It is money.
I have personally chosen not to join the NRA because of their rigid stance that perpetuates this needless killing. |

Their "rigid stance" there, dingbat, is to protect the country from control freak loony leftwing libtards who are constantly trying to chip away at the 2A by reducing the types of guns we can own.
Your ignorance is displayed by your claim about automatic rifles. Those guns were tightly restricted in 1933 and you CANNOT buy them at Wal-Mart. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
