Many NRA members break the law by selling illegal weapons. They are therefore not law abiding. The NRA has about 4.3 million members. I don't know what you mean by many, but certainly any organization that big has some members who break the law. But overall the NRA is not an organization that if particularly full of law breakers, and the organization itself protects gun rights for law abiding people, while not supporting the idea that convicted felons should have guns, We know what "looters" means. It means blacks. No looters means people who loot and plunder. And when they pass those concealed weapons laws, they have white people only in mind to carry. Nonsense. In fact they support "shall issue" laws so that every American adult without a disqualification (like being a convicted felon) can get a permit, as opposed to "may issue" laws where some official gets to determine if someone gets a permit, and possibly could use racist criteria to determine who gets a permit. Also, there's the whole militia movement which showed its ugly head during the Clinton years. The militia movement is not the NRA, and the NRA is not the militia movement. Also, instead of apologizing for Columbine Which would have been a very stupid and pointless thing for them to do since they are in no way responsible for Columbine. Why does anyone need military style weapons? Why does anyone need a car with 300 HP? Very few people do. That doesn't mean that such cars should be illegal. The "military style" weapons where just that their "style" was military, they "looked military", but their function was no different than many other weapons that were legal before, during, and after the "assault weapons" ban.
