HI Sue,
You'd think they would have learned something when George Bush resigned
his membership several years ago. But the really big money still rests
in the hands of the big companies that manufacture guns, ammunition and
accessories and those are the guys the NRA has to keep happy. So they
oppose every gun control bill that is ever introduced. I don't see that
changing.
