> somehow the NRA works against its own interests to make guns as dangerous as possible? In an ideal world, cars are designed to be as safe as possible, as they are transports and getting people home safely is their most important aspect. In an ideal world, guns are designed to be a dangerous and murderous as possible, as they are killing devices and efficiently turning people into corpses is their most important aspect. The NRA does exactly what it should: advocate for murder device efficiency and access. Of course, whether easy access to highly efficient murder devices should be allowed is a public policy question, but in the US, the answer is yes, and the NRA's strategies are a rational move based on that policy. The problem here is that advocating for easy access and efficiency of murder machines kinda looks bad.
