    Sure.

    That's why Australia has had how many mandatory gun buy backs?

    Just like the anti-gun crowd.

    You couldn’t figure out how we would know if someone is an NRA member or not. If a reporter can’t figure that out they haven’t any business in that profession. If they are in that profession and can’t achieve something that simple they are a news reader or propagandist, not a real reporter.

    Really are you that out of touch about the subject of this thread?

    I am a Member of various organisations. How can a reporter find out if they have no access to search rights or membership lists?

    It's in the "more than one" category.

    Someone already gave you clues. I hope you aren’t a reporter. :) Or a detective. :)

    Have you ever heard of interviews? Like asking questions of family and acquaintances? Ever hear of grooming sources in law enforcement or government? How about social media? Most social media companies will puke out information in violation of their own policy for stuff like this. Find out where he does his drinking. Visit local ranges and ask questions. You’re putting me on aren’t you? Isn’t this stuff obvious?

    Gun control schemes are always aimed at banning guns.

    More Guns = Less Crime.

    In the U.S. that's very accurate.

    When it comes to firearms, this country, by it's structure and Constitution, is not comparable to any other in the world.

    Which is why people seeking freedom run to here.

    While outsiders, with much lesser rights only complain about "how we should be like them."

    So you chose to go with silly denial, ok. Try reading it slower, the glaringly obvious might take, on this go.

    Not one NRA member has carried out a mass shooting. You can bet your eternal soul, the media would of broadcasted that from the highest peaks on earth had even ONE NRA member committed a SINGLE mass shooting. And you know it, too.

    Go ahead, look silly and attempt to deny that...

    Did you see Bowerbird actually deny the media would have broadcast any mass shooter being an NRA member? The first thing that happens after the fact is the mass shooters life is put under a microscope.

    Not to mention a sticker on their vehicle.

    The compensation is questionable, 25%-90% of the pretax value.

    Juat give everyone 100%. If the government wants tl do this they should have to do it right.

    Does privacy not exist in the US?

    No, I don't live in a cave. Why do you seek to insult me like that? Sure, we have a free press with investigative reporting, but that does not give them access to powers of search.

    Sometimes they report it
    https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/03/adam-lanza-search-warrant-guns-nra/

    even when they aren't an NRA member.
    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/nra-confirms-it-has-no-re_n_2972762

    For our Aussie friends, you can get various NRA certificates without being a member, such as attending hunter safety or going through the marksmanship course.

    241 guns turned in out of 14,300 registered, slow start for sure.
    Shows the lack of knowledge of our supposed betters. If .22 cal is high caliber, they must consider a .30 cal hunting round a cannon.

    Show me a mass shooter who was a member. You really think the anti gun media would not find and publicize that?

    Another fun fact, the word 'gullible' is not in the dictionary, but dont take my word for it, look it up and see!

    Don’t you have privacy laws in the USA?

    This also makes an erroneous assumption that A) the press are out to get the NRA and secondly that the press have access to the relevant information

    We know the NRA manipulate the press they have been caught on tape doing so
