I'm an NRA member and I'm not happy with what they did. However I do understand the tactics of why they did what they did. If we do not have the second amendment we won't have the first amendment either. If we loose the first amendment we can take it back with the second amendment. The second amendment is the guardian of the Bill of Rights. It is the failsafe our founding fathers gave us. As George Washington said "It's the people's liberty's teeth".
