Portion. It is not that most citizens are against gun or gun ownership but with sensible ownership and safely operating the weapons. The SYG laws is too broad, give some people a weapon and they become a giant, forget about safety and others gets hurt. NRA should be about sensible and safely operating firearms but their spokesmen does not lead citizens in the right directions, itis all about selling more guns.
