Hi 78° | Lo 61°  My Turn: Can the NRA really tell good guys from
bad?  I have a question for the NRA: Will it kindly provide us

them own guns. I don’t know about you, but if I were running an

responsible, patriotic, Second-Amendment gun ownership turned
out to have Jeffrey Weise (Red Lake, Minn., 2005) or James
Holmes (Colorado, 2012) as members in good standing? What if
Jared Loughner (Tucson, Ariz., 2011) or Steven Kazmiercsak
(DeKalb, Ill., 2008) were NRA card-carriers?  In fact, what if
any of the 60-plus mass shooters we’ve read about – or lost
loved ones to – in the past 30 years were members of the NRA?
