Because the NRA is once again in the crosshairs of activists fighting against weapons, a situation that is used to manage but which is difficult after the shock of the shooting of Newtown.

Every fatal shooting that America mourned, all eyes turn to the National Rifle Association, the association of four million members who personifies itself the second amendment of the Constitution and the right of Americans to bear arms. But it took this time four days for the association remained silent after the shooting school Sandy Hook (26 deaths, including 20 children), published a brief statement by saying "ready to offer its contribution to help ensure that this never happens again. "

The greatest trainer on weapons safety

At each shoot, the association offers its condolences but remained in their positions: Americans have the right to be armed and would be even better if they were all the time, at work or at the mall. It's almost its name: the NRA "is the main defender of the rights in the 2nd Amendment," she said on its website. "Widely recognized as a major political force," it is also, she says, "since its foundation the first organization in the world which teaches the use of weapons."

It "as 750,000 Americans each year, says Jenny Carlson, a sociologist at the University of Berkeley in California is the largest trainer of weapons safety, it provides a number of services to the public. This is why those who live not in this world do not understand why it is so supported, "she said.

For those who want stricter regulation on guns, the NRA is mostly regarded as the most powerful pressure group to work in the halls of Congress in Washington and in the states. She managed to block almost any initiative to regulate the use of weapons, and helped to pass during the last 30 years, three to 41 the number of states with more flexible laws on weapons and to 25 the number of those who absolve a murderer in self defense.
