Forty years ago, the NRA stood for responsible gun ownership. They were even for gun safety, training, certification and registration. What has changed this? Money. The NRA is considered a charitable organization, and thus pays no taxes. You and I pay more taxes than they do. The NRA really doesn't want gun registration because then you would know that some people have amassed arsenals of over 100 guns. I personally know people who have three or four guns. It is time for responsible certification and registration.
