But the NRA is an organization built on fear, and they use that fear to pump up those shreds into nuclear threats. Watch the interview with NRA spokeswoman Rachel Parsons above, talking about how a proposal to close the gun-show loophole -- which permits hundreds, if not thousands, of transactions to occur that would be illegal in a gun shop, and lets people who are forbidden to buy guns to do so, since no background check is required.

Parsons is trying to tell us that this somehow affects people's Second Amendment rights -- even though the only actual effect of this legislation she can claim is that the people who put on these gun shows couldn't afford to do so anymore, because they wouldn't be making as large of sums from them as what they're accustomed to. Of course, this has nothing to do with the Second Amendment.

Although I don't believe in the "gun culture", or to be precise, I believe that said culture is not healthy, the right to bear arms is one guaranteed by the Constitution. But as with all rights, it also comes with responsibilities and the NRA is been irresponsible in the extreme by pushing this kind of paranoia.

The NRA are fear-mongering radicals.

The same could be said for those who are for gun control.

Could be said, if it were true.
