There are a lot of good, decent NRA members who don't want to see anyone harmed by firearms. I'm sure that they are as shocked and saddened as the rest of us every time a mass shooting occurs.
Unfortunately, they sat back silently while extremists in their organization peddled fear and falsehoods and prevented common sense reforms on background checks and other critical policies. So, while I still believe that they are good people, I think they could have done a better job of maintaining a reasonable dialog in the firearms debate.
Now, the NRA is the object of scorn. That didn't need to happen.
