I am not a NRA member. Never have been. I am a retired Peace Officer. I have seen the violence and aftermath of those who prey on members of our society.
Here is the truth, your police even with a quick response time (4 to 6 minutes) can not be there to protect you during those crtical earl minutes. So, it is up to you to submit to the will of the rapist, home invader or thief OR to defend yourself.
If you defend yourself with pepper spray - 5 to 7 % of the US Population will have no immediate effect to the spray. And some are immune to it. With training, one can learn to minimize the effect of the spray and continue the attack. With training one can learn to minimize the effect of stun guns and continue the attack.
I have seen those who have defended themselves with a weapon (handgun, shotgun or rifle) who never fired a shot. Most of the time the crooks ran because they fear those who are trained to defend themselves. These incidents almost never make the news. Why? They are not sensational and they are not news worthy.
People have a choice. Be a victim or slave to the criminals. Or be a responsible defender of self, family and others. I choose the later. How about you?

"The NRA is an arms manufacturers lobby group posing as a grass roots organization. "
Have you got any evidence for this assertion, or is it just an idle "opinion"?

NRA's CEO Wayne LaPierre gets about $1,000,000 per year salary. The NRA is an arms manufacturers lobby group posing as a grass roots organization.

Dennis Hennigan $240K
Sarah Brady $140K

It should be noted that the Brady folks have to pay their CEO, $250,000 a year. How can any organization donate with that kind of overhead????

I have always called anti-gun groups "foundation groups" because most of them would not exist without money from the Joyce Foundation, (Obama was on the BoD for 8 years and gave away over $10 million to anti-gun groups in that time,) and other groups and George Soros. The anti-gun New Yorkers Against Gun Violence is run by people who have a salaried contract and most of the money for their operation comes from foundations and a few people who are NYC liberal Dems.
You think that gun groups give a lot of money, look at how much money the anti-gun unions give and people like NYC Mayor Bloomburg

People who are against gun ownership feel it's O.K. for the 17, 18, 19 year old kids in the military to put their lives on the line to save our hide, but when the same people get out of the war, they are not allowed to own a weapon if the people who are anti-gun had their way. Those same anti-gun people need to live in Israel where every citizen is required to serve in the Army or some other branch of their military, women included! They, the women of Israel learn how to use the latest automatic weapons and are trained in physical defense. I think a criminal would think twice before breaking into her house or any veterans house in Israel! Freedom is not free as the Israels know.

The right to own a gun is like he right to have an attorney. The only difference is the law will give you a chance to defend yourself with your attorney in court. The criminal that breaks into your house with a weapon in his hand will give you a round in the brain or heart and the same for your family members, and that is your justice if you aren't armed. The police cannot be at your house every day to protect you so guess who's going to do that? You must realize that the police officer, that gets off duty, has his weapon loaded and ready for trouble! Why wouldn't you do you same? The fear of a gun is the result of ignorance. A gun is a tool just like a hammer or screwdriver and when you know it's purpose and how to use it you will have taken the first step in providing for your own safety and that of your family! The right to own a gun is the first right you lose in a government that is taken over by a dictator. That is the reason for this right in this country. We would't have had a revolution against England and separated from England if we had no guns. When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns. Guns don't kill people, people kill people with guns, knives, baseball bats, poison, etc. Be prepared.
