> This has gotten more and more extreme to the point that they are now basically against any gun control laws including restrictions on machine guns or any sort of background checks. You are aware that ownership of machine guns is both extremely restricted and rather expensive, while almost all legal gun transfers require a background check, right? (The transfers that don't require a background check are private sales in certain states) Or are you saying that people want these restrictions to be rolled back?

> Or are you saying that people want these restrictions to be rolled back? This. As far as I am aware, the NRA is now believes people should be able to own fully automatic weapons although that wasn't always their position. (And they obviously are against restrictions on semiautomatic weapons since their California division had sued the government about them.)
