Provocative images, but gun crime has consistently been on the decline for over two decades now. Would you say we're moving in the wrong direction?

Declining gun violence is good, as long as it's not replaced by non firearm related violence. But this path that USA is on has a limit that's very far from ideal.

Anyway, among the many questionable things NRA does, they actively spend money to defend research on gun related violence, and makes the process of checking certain gun registries very difficult by keeping them on an antiquated paper based system.
What they're doing always seems to be going in the wrong direction.

With few exceptions, each year since '92 (or '93, though I think it's '92) has seen a decline in gun violence and homicides overall. I'm not saying we should be proud of where the U.S. is at now in terms of violence, but I do think we're on the right track. The current murder and gun crime rate is less than half of what it was in the early 90s.

I honestly don't know much about the NRA, so I can't comment on the latter part.
