NRA expresses 'deepest sympathies' to families and victims of El Paso, Dayton shootings
Source: The Hill
The National Rifle Association (NRA) on Sunday expressed their "deepest sympathies" for the victims and their families of the two mass shootings that rocked America over the weekend.
“Our deepest sympathies are with the families and victims of these tragedies, as well as the entire communities of El Paso and Dayton,” Andrew Arulanandam, head of the organization's public affairs department, said in a statement. “On behalf of our millions of members, we salute the courage of the first responders and others offering their services during this time.”
“The NRA is committed to the safe and lawful use of firearms by those exercising their Second Amendment freedoms. We will not participate in the politicizing of these tragedies but, as always, we will work in good faith to pursue real solutions that protect us all from people who commit these horrific acts.”
Democrats have long criticized the NRA, the nation’s most powerful gun rights lobby, for opposing firearm restrictions. A universal background check bill, passed by the House, is currently stalled in the Republican-controlled Senate.

that smooths things over quite nicely, right? Absolutely nothing more could possibly be done by the fine people at the NRA. 
that did serious mia culpa after it was revealed in company documents, that chemicals were being added to make cigarettes more addictive? And cause more deaths?
Now the nra wants to justify its own existence, even in light of their responsibility for thousands of deaths..
spare me this nonsense.
