I am with you on every question except: Are you for or against legalized abortion? Should the word "God" be taken off our money and out of patriotic songs? How far to the left does that make me?

I disagree on these two points- What are your views on gun control? Opposed to all efforts. Is your impression of the NRA generally good or generally bad? Excellent. I'm a lifetime member. Gun control is good. If you just shoot willy nilly you won't kill your target. BTW I'm also a lifer with the NRA but I got a little steamed when they wouldn't endorse #41 and then screaming about Clinton being elected. It seemed they had shifted from protecting our gun rights into basically a fund raising mchine.
