I repeat, The NRA does not see school shootings, mass shootings, as a tragedy, they see it as a "opportunity" I quote the outgoing board member. "School shootings are not a tragedy, it is an opportunity to sell more guns". The NRA is a lobby group for gun industry. It took Adam Lanza five min to shoot 20 kids in the face, no reload his gun. The NRA wants to make sure the next monster will be able to shoot 30 kids in the face, in three min, no reload. How many USA folks have been shot dead since Newtown? Y'all ?
