It’s an old but accurate analogy.

If you put a frog in a frying pan full of cold water and turn on the heat, he will die in the pan because he won't notice the increase in temperature until it's too late.

Your right to own a gun is continuously being challenged by little laws, regulations, restrictions and outright bans. Some people are getting used to them and are expecting gun owners to give up more.

Because there are a good many of those in the gun control crowd that seek confiscation of all private firearms, I think the NRA's way of countering such efforts is to counter all efforts aimed at restricting gun ownership, i.e. the NRA needs to keep gun control nazis away from the stove!

But I agree with you and Don that there the NRA should take a position just slightly left of Right.

(I would support making a parent criminally responsible if their child kills someone [accidentally or not] with the parents gun.)
