4. CNN reported it a minute ago. The OP apparently thinks the NRA passes legislation.
:eyes:
(If this news is correct, the problem was not with the laws, it was that somebody failed to follow through.)

8. They did in my state
No kidding in Missouri in 2002

They and the Republican Party
Flew a National Guardsman back from Guatanamo to override a veto of a CCW bill.
The worst thing about this was that this particular bill negated a vote by the people.

9. uh - they pretty much do. They own most of the Rep. lawmakers & get anything they want.
Since we had the energy companies personally writing our energy bills - I wouldn't be surprised if the NRA personally wrote any bills that had to do with firearms.
