If a drunk driver kills someone do you blame the bottle or the driver? In the case of guns you're just so upset they do there job you can't seem to figure out that the one to blame is the person pulling the trigger.

Yes...but a car's intended purpose is transportation, not weaponry. Still we regulate and make it illegal to DWI...we also make it illegal to drive without a license.

re: Why is it the NRA is against safeties on guns?
All guns have safeties already.

The IRA is openly against smart safeties and gun makers who have implemented smart safeties have become the target of NRA ire and have faced bankruptcy.

re: Why is it the NRA will fight any legislation that even hints at restrictions placed on gun owners? The owners you speak of rarely kill anyone. Or did the fact that even the English now seem to realize the "Criminal underworld seems to ignore those laws about handguns".

What's your point. We don't deregulate crimes because criminals ignore it. The NRA opposes any and all gun control legislation, making it easier for non law abiding citizens to obtain guns. You could argue that the NRA is directly responsible for all gun crimes committed by known felons who have obtained a gun through legal means.
