The overreaching statements and lies are one issue, but to me they are just a minor issue. The major issue is the negative influence it has had on simple things like working heavily against the CDC (to ridiculous levels) of studying gun violence. Introducing rules and regulations that hobble the ATF like banning them from using technique more advanced than paper and microfiche, not allowing things to be computerized. Hobbling the number of agents of the ATF to ridiculously low numbers, even their gun crime division is ridiculously under funded.

It is not the fact that the NRA embellishes and tells outright lies, it is the fact that they have crippled study into gun violence and the ability to find and fight the bad guy with the gun so that they do not reflect poorly on the good guys with the guns.

The second amendment is written in stone, and that is a good thing, it is the way people in the US want it to remain and being so unequivocal (the 2nd amendment that is) makes it safe from government overreach (which again is a good thing) but banning the ATF from using computers and the CDC from even studying gun violence is an overreach too.

the only people who want the CDC to engage in an area where it really has no business in are those in the anti gun camp. And the anti gun movement tells more lies in a week than the NRA has in a century
 
The NRA is known for it's outrageous claims and misguidance, but there are some lies so bad they stand above the rest. Which one do you think is the worst of the worst?

For me, it's the NRA's claim that the best thing to do after a mass tragedy such as Sandy Hook or Orlando is to sit on our butts and do nothing but pray. No, we can stop the problem of gun violence in this country with sensible legislation, but the NRA is so afraid of losing profit from declining gun sales that they'd rather see 30 kindergarteners killed verses a law passed.

The NRA USED to be for gun control. Then they got paid not to be.

wrong-as usual. The NRA was never political UNTIL the Democrat party adopted gun control and scapegoating gun owners in a dishonest effort to pretend that the Democrat party was NOT soft on violent, often black, street crime
 
Wait...

Is it a trout?
Is it used to assault?

They are carnivores. They assault but not like the AR-15. That is purely for killing humans.

Sure, keep telling that, I am sure most NRA supporters will believe that. And it is not that the CDC should be investigating gun violence, the problem is that the NRA has nudged (read here, bought and paid/shamed/blackmailed) politicians into BANNING the CDC from investigating gun violence. Or what? Public study goes against the second amendment? Don't make me laugh.

The CDC is not banned from investigating gun violence, no law exists anywhere forbidding that

If you strip the CDC from being able to use the money the government gives it to study gun violence, than you as well as ban them from studying gun violence. The Dickie Amendment is all but a stranglehold on the CDC and evidence for the CDC what happens if it crosses the path of he NRA.

Wait, I know what you're doing. You're a Conservative who's posting as a exaggerated cartoon characterization of a Liberal to make them look bad.

why is it that EVERYONE who wants the CDC to "study" gun violence also wants more restrictions on law abiding citizens owning firearms?

The Dickie Amendment does not prohibit the CDC from studying gun violence or funding such.

I wish it did, the CDC should not be wasting a dime on criminal justice issues and focus on bona fide public health issues
