i was far from impressed with the response of the nra, but lets be honest, there wasn't really much they could say and not have people jump all over them. i actually thought it was wise to remain quiet for a few days, rather than start trying to further their agenda like all the other groups seemed to do. the problem is, with an organization as big as them that represents so many different people as they do, its always gonna be an uphill battle to get across the thoughts of everybody associated with them the same as any other large political group/lobby.
