5. NRA is a shill for the Gun Manufacturers

The NRA represents themselves as a protector of the individual gun owner, but in fact the NRA is a shill for the gun makers, using fear tactics to get the NRA members to buy more guns.

The true cost of gun ownership falls on the taxpayer who end up footing many of the costs of gun violence. Many people who are shot and rushed to the hospital don't have any medical insurance, so guess who pays for their care - you. If a man is killed, his small children will get survivor benefits, guess who pays for this - you. If someone is injured and cannot work, many cases will receive funding and help. The taxpayer will also pay for this.

Innocent people, young kids and babies are being killed while the gun companies are recording record profits, all the while we the taxpayers are paying a huge amount to support all this killing.

The NRA use all the they get from the gun makers as a tool to control voting in congress. Our representatives are too weak and too greedy to stand up against the NRA.

The only way to end this terrible cycle of killing is for people to rise up against their representatives and challenge them to vote against any more laws that favor the NRA agenda and to do away with many that are on the books. Obama is right, this should be the one determining factor when voting - at least until something changes.

Do you know that the NRA got a law on the books that prohibits the government from collecting data about gun violence?
