The NRA Speaks

More guns are necessary - armed guards in every school for a start - in order to curb gun violence. Violent movies are a problem also.

Here are the specific proposals the NRA suggests:

- Stop promoting gun free school zones
- Stop giving so much media coverage to school shooting
- Consider a national database for the mentally ill
- More scrutiny for violent video games
- Bring in armed guard for schools
- Stop debating legislation

The NRA is argued to have a stranglehold on a significant number of members of Congress - enough to stop most gun control legislation cold. Open Secrets has a good description of the NRA's political influence.
