We listen to The Daily (NY Times pod cast) each day. Today it was about the NRA.

What a remarkable podcast. Please find and listen to it if you can.

My and my wife's view - the NRA is now an evil organization. They are not anti-American...they are worse. They are anti-humanity.

Just monsters. And the monster is fed and grows stronger each mass killing.
