However, the steps we take should actually do something that will help solve the problem (i.e. harden our school security).

The NRA and companies associated with them are not responsible for the actions of evil people that do evil things like the shooting in Florida. To label them as being responsible for the actions of evil people is way beyond absurd and irrational, it is dangerous to our free society. The attacks on the NRA and organizations associated with them is no more rational or justified than attacking the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, automobile manufacturers, and all automobile dealerships when an evil person purposely uses a vehicle to run over innocent people on a sidewalk in New York City or elsewhere. By the way, where is the outrage against pressure cookers and any company associated with them? Remember the Boston Marathon bombers.

The attacks on the NRA are attacks on the millions of law-abiding NRA members, the 80 million plus gun owners in our country, and the hundreds of millions of people that support, defend, and believe in our U.S. Constitution and all the rights and freedoms it guarantees. The NRA has done more to promote gun safety and responsible gun ownership than any other organization in the world; yet, because they fight to protect our Constitutional rights, they become the target of unjustified attacks as if they were the root of all evil. Placing such blame on the NRA is wrong. Those that believe otherwise must truly be brainwashed with all of the anti-gun propaganda the spews from the anti-gun mainstream media.

It is important to note that taking away one right in the Bill of Rights will make all the rest of our individual rights targets for removal. The sincere message here is beware of what you ask for; taking away any of our rights is a slippery slope to not being free.
