mass shooting and folks start talking about gun control.

The NRA is a Us vs. Them situation. They want zero control.

That wasn't the case in the 1970's. Then Heston took over and
the nuts came out to play.



That didn't happen in a vacuum. There was also a significant increase
in gun laws in that time frame and the birth of anti gun groups.
You also had the outrageous ATF raid of Ken Ballew where they really
did not have probable cause (the warrant application was flawed), they
claimed they knocked and announced but it was not heard by either Mr
or Mrs Ballew and the cops were in civilian clothes.
Mr Ballew was killed.

A lot of gun owners had a shiver go down their spine after that.

Jack booted thugs can break into your house and kill you with no real
reason.

Yes, leave it to you to focus on one bad incident from decades ago
and then try to use that to define America.

You seem to be hung up on a guy buying a shotgun from Dicks that never
killed anyone. There are also plenty of other abuses by the feds but I
was really responding to Lundall and he brought up the 70s.
