NRA lobbying enables gun violence... 
Quote:
In a nation armed with more than a quarter of a billion privately owned firearms, the NRA is correct to assert that determined outlaws will often find a way to get their hands on guns. The problem is that the NRA is the foremost enabler of many of those outlaws.
We can?t link the NRA directly to the hideous acts of alleged Aurora gunman James Holmes, 24, or to any one of the nation?s 9,000 to 10,000 annual gun murders and 338,000 rapes, robberies and other non-fatal assaults, or to the actions of the ?deranged madmen? whom the NRA loves to demonize.
What we can say with absolute certainty is that where there are loopholes in gun laws, laws that make it more difficult to get thugs off the streets and laws that endanger the lives of police and ordinary citizens alike, you will invariably find the fingerprints of the NRA.
Wayne LaPierre, the NRA?s CEO and public face, may call his group ?one of the largest law enforcement organizations in the country,? but under his leadership the NRA ? with a 2010 budget of more than $240 million ? has become the nation?s de facto lobby for street criminals, criminal gun dealers and an industry that reaps a sizable percentage of its income from criminal gun use. The NRA, says Pittsburgh police detective Joseph Bielevicz, ?takes every chance it gets to stymie even reasonable efforts to combat gun violence.?
