NRA promises to speak on Friday-- and then goes on the attack

There was a thought in some corners that maybe the NRA was finally willing to talk about new gun laws when they sent out a statement yesterday that said they would wait until Friday to make a statement, and were willing to talk about ways to stop massacres like Newtown in the future. But last night, it was shown that the NRA will never see any reason to limit guns when they went on the attack last night
.
While the NRA said they would wait until Friday to give their ideas on Newtown, NRA News, an internet-based arm of the NRA, last night went on the air and said that any laws limiting gun ownership was unacceptable to the NRA. They again gave their stock answer to the problem: More guns would have limited the damage done by the massacre. Then on the radio last night, an NRA statesman (Or someone speaking for the NRA) said that actions taken by people like Senator Feinstein showed that President Obama was indeed planning on taking people's guns away in the President's second term. Exactly how is limiting rounds in the clips, 100% background checks for all gun sales, and stopping the manufacture of military hardware for civilian use going into people's homes and taking their gun away? Is there any bill in the President's first term that limited gun use? No! As a matter of fact, the one gun law he did sign expanded gun rights, allowing guns in [places like national parks and on Amtrak.) Has there been a rash of train robberies I hadn't heard of prior to this bill being signed?)

The NRA said they'd wait until Friday to make a statement on the massacre in Newtown, but they turned right around and went on the attack last night. But with their refusal to listen to ideas, their stubbornness in  just repeating their stock answer, and their lying about the President, the NRA showed their complete lack of respect for a majority of the American people.
