As a British citizen I'm wondering why the NRA, who all my life have defended the misinterpretation of the Second Amendment, are not standing up and taking on these people and, by extension, the oppressive and corrupt government, as they always maintain their role was to do?

Of course, they could go off and check any of this for themselves then come to their own conclusions, but why would they do that? Checking what’s actually going on would imply there’s some reason to listen to something they were told by stupid, inferior people. So, you see the problem.
