Why isn't the NRA at the forefront of effective gun control...to get the illegal guns off the street; to remove the assault weapons from the general public; to finance discovery programs to root out illegal guns; to create national policies to eliminate assault weapons..etc. etc.,,,,why? because it would take money out of their pockets. Straight up, simple. They survive on gun ownership and don't give a shit about your safety; your life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
