Me first!

Again it all goes back to the final point Money.Greediness and having no sympathy who ever is sick the insurance companies do not give a dam about only profits!Plain horrible to think about.

I don't own a firearm and probably never will. Background checks and registration do not infringe on our 2nd Amendment rights, contrary to some whack jobs who believe that they should be able to buy and sell weapons to anyone without any requirements. I'm just wondering why the NRA doesn't want us to know who their major contributors are when it comes to political donations/funding.

IMHO, it's more a case of the NRA not disclosing donor information at the request of the donor. Especially in the case of corporate contributions. You may have boards of directors and/or C-suiters who support the NRA, but fear a backlash from their customer base or the media. So they donate from behind the non-disclosure barricade. It's cowardly, but unfortunately, it's their prerogative and it's legal for now.

Pretty tough room to try and talk in that's for sure
This discussion calls for Desiderata time, Kiddo Desiderata .....I understand your opinion and however realistically you and me or is that you and I would like to debate why we dislike and abhor about guns we both know for certain as "little green apples' that gun genie ain't going back in the bottle..... it's out and about.
I get where your coming from...and believe me so do the guys and gals here even if buried below their spirited and charming replies

I like this advice below...
Nothing, not even a Utopia, can necessarily make the pursuit of happiness a successful one that ends in capture. The best society can merely allow every individual to flourish in the pursuit.

I do own a gun...and I sleep just a wee bit better
sad little confession dat but true!!

Peace...bird!!

If you're worried about a customer/stock holder backlash, why do it? I'm all for total transparency, so we know who's who.

Ask them. I'm all for complete transparency, too. And for the record, I'm not pro-gun or pro-NRA. But I'm not totally anti-gun, either. As has already been said, that horse done left the barn long ago, and the implications and heavy lifting required to get it back into the barn all but preclude any such action.

As for a world without guns, I guess you'd have to go back to just before the Chinese invented gun powder. Imagine a world that never developed explosive or percussive technologies. Now imagine that all the wars that have been fought since that first canon appeared had been fought with arrows, spears, rocks, and pots of flaming oil. What would today's world look like. Would any of us be here? Would the map look as it does today?

Wishing there were no guns at all is terribly nobel. And romantic, too. But getting there after having been here for so many centuries? That's about as easy as imagining the stuff I just mentioned.

It goes beyond just the NRA to all PACs and corporations. If ya got sumpin' to hide, ya don't need to be involved at all.

Ahh, but you wear it well.

Yer lucky I'm wearing anything at all!
