The NRA is a powerful and essential American institution--it doesn't need to be represented by a person who many see as ultraconservative and controversial. Americans are moderate and progressive folks, in fact, and the NRA should be fronted by a person who represents our best interests to the world. Somebody who nobody will mistake for a shoot-first-ask-questions-later redneck. That image has faded, and now we are more worldly and intelligent. Let's upgrade our image to reflect who we really are.

As for the definition by the federal government, the NRA qualifies as a terrorist group. The federal. I own guns and stand by citizens right to own them. But there should be controls on the amount and type of weapons owned. I just had a good friend killed by the police, because my felt he had enough weapons to fend off anyone or everyone. His large stash of weapons did not save him.
