I'm a rifle owner and this is what I think about the NRA::

The NRA supports and lobbies for making it easier for Anti-American extremist groups and potential domestic terrorists to obtain powerful weapons. The NRA itself should be deemed a domestic terrorist group.

Al Qaeda would need at least nine twin towers like attacks each year to equal what Americans do to themselves every year with guns.

USA PATRIOT Act

The USA PATRIOT Act defines domestic terrorism activities as "activities that (A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the U.S. or of any state, that (B) appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion, or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping, and (C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S."
