Right, but that has nothing to do with the point. The point is that
the NRA is being more obnoxious than usual with these calls to the

"The people Newtown" can just hang up like everyone else. If it were
up to me, all RoboCalls would be outlawed. At least with a real
person you can patiently explain how they just broke the law by
calling someone on the "Do Not Call" list.

Yes, they can. That again isn't the point. The point is that the NRA
doesn't give a **** about people. They care about their benefactors,
the gun manufacturers.

I guess there's a reason why they don't call themselves the National
People's Association. There's no question that the NRA is over the
top on some issues but they're up against some stiff opposition, and
there are multiple sides to every position. In many respects the
whole thing comes down to modern urban America vs old time rural
America - two totally different cultures and points of view on a lot
of different issues. As a kid I had one grandmother who lived miles
down a country road in a very rural area. She always kept a shotgun
behind the kitchen door and knew how to use it. It would have taken
an hour for any law enforcement agency to get there if they could even
find it.

I don't see multiple sides to the position of reducing gun violence.
Study after study has shown and country after country has demonstrated
that fewer guns means fewer deaths.

No reasonable "rural" person cares about whether or not his gun is
registered. Most people are in favor of it. We're not talking about
shotguns. We're talking about assault weapons, as you know.
