Its a genetic trait among lawyers (no, its a lifestyle choice). You can tell
they are lying when they call the NRA an 'industry assocation' or 'gun industry
lobby'. The NRA receives no money from gun makers, its membership (now 3 million
and rising) are overwhelmingly common, working class, law abiding citizens.
Anti-gunners have serious problems telling the truth, beginning with their
claims to be 'reasonable', 'rational' people who do support the 2nd amendment
(but only as they interpret it). They claim to not want to take away all guns,
however they have been caught several times in the past admitting that this is
in fact their goal.
