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.

I made a post about NRA's practices somewhere before, but it'd be hard to dig it up.
You can find the part about having to go through burnt records here: https://youtu.be/_ECYMvjU52E?t=366
The video should start exactly at that segment.



For decades, the NRA have lobbied millions to keep the database from being electronically searchable.

And John Oliver went over what NRA does pretty nicely if you want to watch the whole video.

Interesting information, but I'd want to hear the opposition's argument before making a judgment call. As I say, I'm really just not familiar with the NRA beyond hearing/seeing their name invoked quite often.
