What NRA are you referencing? the National Rifle one has been behind addressing domestic violence gun issues at least since last year per this snip from April, 2014

As the Huffington Post reports, the NRA consented to HB 1840, a Washington state bill making it legal to strip abusers of their guns if they are served with “no-contact orders, protection orders, [or] restraining orders.” And while the bill was signed into law last month, the NRA also approved similar measures elsewhere, within the last year. Wisconsin, Louisiana, and Minnesota have signed or advanced legislation banning abusers from keeping guns if they’ve been issued an order or charged with misdemeanors, all with NRA support.


Not that they are suddenly wearing all white hats as part of the reason is to encourage more gun ownership for women.


The NRA is obviously the controllers' big enemy and knowing your enemy is a big part of winning any battle. If you don't know what the NRA does and does not support, how in the heck can you effectively counter their agenda? I read a lot of comments from gun supporters here about how the gun controllers don't get much done and at first I thought it was just a mild counter to the routine insults accompanying the controller posts, but I'm beginning to see that there is a lot of truth to the comments.

It's one thing not to know the muzzle velocity of a AR-15 at above 5,000 feet elevation, but whiffing on a easily discovered NRA position shows just how little effort the controllers put into solving the issue of gun violence. Heck man, you didn't even have to leave your keyboard to discover it.
