Not at all - The NRA encouraged us to go out and get handguns and assault rifles.
In the past the NRA served hunters and promoted gun safety. Now instead the NRA has spent the pasty thirty years trying to increase their membership and their profits by encouraging us to buy handguns (because we all needed to protect ourselves as crime continues to drop) and we needed assault rifles because, well, because they are fun and our 2nd amendment rights are at risk.
This weekend here in my little hometown a 96 year old mentally ill woman shot at police offices who came to her door to do a welfare check. (This will most likely be the biggest law enforcement event in our town for the year!) Before we start to question why a 96 year old woman has the need to arm herself in a town where crime doesn't exist, we need to look at the fact that a mentally ill woman was allowed to have a firearm and no one said anything.
It's easier to get a weapon than it is to get a driver's license. And that's wrong.
