NRA - check.  Remember back in 1967?
"The National Rifle Association, which in 1967 supported the repeal of California's open-carry law when members of the Black Panther Party began carrying legally purchased firearms, said gun control "will do nothing" to stop gun violence, and then urged Congress to allow gun owners to carry concealed weapons across state lines; and at least 64 members of Congress who've accepted campaign contributions from the NRA announced that they would pray for the victims in Las Vegas, including a representative who said gun control was "not the answer" and who once spoke at an international white-supremacist conference, authored a bill banning gay marriage in Louisiana, and was, after being shot by a 66-year-old white man, defended by a black female police officer who is married to a woman, a demographic in the United States that is a hundred times more likely to be shot and killed by a man than to use a gun for self-defense."
