To the spouter from Avalon who feels the National Rifle Assoc. is a sick perverse organization for not commemorating the first anniversary of the Sandy Hook school massacre I offer this food for thought. The mission of the NRA is to promote safe and lawful use of firearms by law abiding citizens. The millions of NRA members were once again convinced by this tradgedy of the importance of membership in this organization that lobbies to keep firearms out of the hands of unstable individuals. The NRA does not commemorate the criminal actions of a sick individual or his mother.
