In the event of a tragic school shooting or similar event, you will note that these take place in 'Gun Free Zones'. The NRA feels, as do I that if a few of these folks had been allowed to carry concealed it would not have been as serious, as has been proven in other situation. And the NRA does not advocate kicking down doors. They are the ones who took the fight to New Orleans to get the illegally confiscated (Democrat Mayor / Governor) guns back. Come on guys, I know you have to be smarter than this. Or are we seeing trolls here?

I really thought some of you guys would be smarter. McCains stance on guns has never been the best, but Obama and Biden are the worst ever seen. If I may present a quote from the Illinois State Rifle Association Newsletter:

"Fellow Sportsman,
Hello, my name is Rich Pearson and I have been active in the firearm rights movement for over 40 years. For the past 15 years, I have served in the Illinois state capitol as the chief lobbyist for the Illinois State Rifle Association.

I lobbied Barack Obama extensively while he was an Illinois State Senator. As a result of that experience, I know Obama’s attitudes toward guns and gun owners better than anyone. The truth be told, in all my years in the Capitol I have never met a legislator who harbors more contempt for the law-abiding firearm owner than Barack Obama."

Time to wake up lads.

P.S. I don't see many names above. If you can't sign what your saying, don't say it at all.
