Yes, the NRA has scared many into buying multiple weapons, and scared enough to start shooting and asking questions later. Having lived in a home growing up with who loved hunting, safety was the first issue with my parents. My dad did not think he needed a elephant gun to hunt small game. He also did need to take a gun to church or going about his daily activity. These are the values of the NRA at one time, they have lost their way, it is shameful.
