I encourage people to join the NRA, but if you could at least defend them that would be good.
The left is waging an assault on the 2nd Amendment, and the NRA is the target.
Salon: The NRA has America living under the gun
Daily News: Blood on hands of Obama, Mitt and NRA!
Daily Beast: After Aurora, Michael Tomasky on the Country the NRA Wants to See
Guardian: America’s deadly devotion to guns
That’s just a few of the links that gun control advocates are throwing around today. They are pushing for a ban on all guns.

Maybe the leftist nutcases should look at the fact this massacre was conducted in a "gun free" zone of which they themselves have created. This according to Gun Owners of America of which I am a member.
Only the enforcement of the 2nd Amendment by the people will keep America from becoming amerika.

I favor the Swiss approach of training everyone. I would love to arm everyone, but I am sensitive to those who feel their households are not emotionally stable enough to add a gun.

This is the 'new wild west' across America. Think about it. Because we have, at least some of us, insisted that the way to go is banning guns–as usual, only the evil people will be able to get them. There is never a problem for those who commit crimes, and evil deeds, who want to obtain guns to find a way to get them. Simple fact–and one that no one can deny! IF they're honest, anyway.
Sadly, the rest of us, law abiding citizens, ,must jump hoops and such to arm ourselves. How ignorant is that? If just one person, in that theater had a open carry, or concealed carry, they could have stopped this insanity–at least the profound damage that happened.
There are few favors that go unpaid and likewise there is almost always a cost to what should be free. The Founders who influenced and wrote both the Declaration and the Constitution demanded a Second Amendment, not because the right for the citizenry to bear arms was not clearly inherent in the Declaration and our Constitution which only provided the newly minted federal government limited and very restricted power but because they foresaw ambiguous interpretations and a possible power grab by government which might eventually wish, like England under George the Third, to take power from the people by force. They also understood that if a government did not represent a government as outlined within our Declaration of Independence it must be abolished and created anew. How capable would they be if unarmed? They would be very weak.
The right to bear arms, to create a militia of citizens, was about the right to defend individual life and liberty and a well-armed citizenry makes for a polite government. However, the right to individual self-defense was so basic that it needed no more of a Constitutional safe guard than the right to breath or eat. Today that right needs to be defended by the very Amendment that was created to prevent our government from limiting the people’s unalienable rights to life and liberty so that they can pursue happiness unmolested by criminals and government; that does not exclude our very own. It is, in fact, mostly about our very own.
Certainly the Founders understood that guns would sometimes be used to try and kill innocent civilians and even presidents. They understood that bad things would certainly happen. They understood that both criminals and renegades would always exist but that loss of some life by illegal use of guns was insufficient to ask for a population to exist unarmed while a government, which they were most afraid of, should remain the only ones vested with our defense.
I have often asked authorities about the qualifications required to become a police officer. After they tell me I reply that most law abiding, tax-paying people possess those very requirements and often much more. I then ask how do they justify denying citizens, that are often more qualified than the police, their right to carry a weapon? The answer is always the same. They can’t.
I have a life membership in the NRA. The best way to effectively fight the anti-gun legislative efforts of both Congress and the Executive is by supporting the NRA. In addition you can almost always bet that any legislator supported by the NRA is also a Constitutional conservative.
