A gun person's argument (DU GC&RKBA in real life)

I found this older clip tonight and felt many of you all would get a kick out of this. It reminds me of the debate we engage in here, except with the civility you would expect from an in-person discussion.

with "A pox on both their houses."

I would love to figure out how 5 million NRA members control the other 75 million gun owners. I'm not an NRA member, and was only a member when by brother-in-law submitted my name and his money for a one year membership (yes, he's a butt-head). How is 6.25% of a population the majority? It could be because they are the loudmouths, and the others are mostly silent. But when I hear statements that the NRA controls my vote, I become highly irate. And I tend to vote against idiots and Restupicans (I know: redundancy alert!who make those statements.
