[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 2765198, member: 796"] If you think the quoted article seems reasonable, check the "everybody knows" assertions being made. Many of them are not even almost true, just the repeatedly quoted opinions of the anti "hired guns". In particular, claiming that added handgun restrictions on the law abiding will reduce inner city violence is patently false, unless you manage to believe that Chicago and Washington, DC are safer and less violent than OKC and Tulsa. One of the emotional reactions against the NRA ( that is understandable) is the frustration that the NRA can't solve all 2A problems, which it can't. However it is recognized even by its haters as the most influential 2A lobby to the US Congress, and the sponsor of many training and safety programs of wide benefit. If the NRA were not so effective, why would Bloomberg et al keep spending hundreds of millions to smear them? Bloomberg outspent the NRA 10 to 1 in the CO recall elections, but lost. [/QUOTE]
