But I would trust the Labor Unions over the gun nuts.

The labor unions rank and file are at least middle class americans, the NRA is full of rich people who own guns in addition to the middle class that join to get that emblem on their pick up truck.

We the people should have the support of your elected leaders, not any one group or any lobby.
