Let's see... Frenchy has led the once magnificent NRA into becoming a joke with his alleged misappropriation of funds and termination of North, fought for bump stocks in the face of Las Vegas, and defends 100 round AR mags as a tool of sportsmen. We wonder why we're losing the support of mainstream America as several countries around the globe have now issued travel warnings to their citizens regarding trips to the USA.
Old time shooters (like me, I'm 70) who remember life before GCA 68 have seen this coming for a long time. When many of the gun owning public misunderstand the difference between "freedom" and "license" while skirting much of the responsibility for the actions of a fringe element of society, it is inevitable that laws and regulations will follow in order to protect the many innocent victims of a few mentally disturbed criminals.
Personally I think that the safe use of guns should be required curriculum in middle school or high school and taught by certified personnel from law enforcement or the military. I'm also quite curious as to whether or not very violent video games have a negative effect on the development of rational thought of young people.
If we're not the ones regulating our sport in a thoughtful way, someone else will .... and they've got a bigger arsenal and a much larger pocketbook.
