I was reading in the Houston Chronicle about Maria Butina. Spy stories are always super juicy. But this story involves the NRA, which is a landmine in my opinion. People seem to see the NRA as a villain, a scapegoat. And I'm reminded of something that my counselor shared mentioned, that some people are in it for their own selfish interests, to control other people. She was speaking of Christianity, but I'm realizing now that it applies to pretty much every institution. The NRA is a political organization, so that should be a given, but I often overlook such things.
The problem that see is that when it comes to gun control, the problem is bigger than the NRA. It's the second amendment, and what it means to a significant part of the population. The one side doesn't seem to understand what it means to the other. That this veers into strongly held beliefs territory.
I keep thinking that the left is going about things the wrong way. They need to reach out to the other side, not vilify it. I googled "you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar" and I found an interesting eecard

I don't have an answer.
