The first "gun grabbers" were not 1960's Chablis-drinking liberals, but seventeenth century rum-guzzling...

It is largely due to the NRA that the U.S. gun policy differs so extremely ? some would say so tragically ? from that of every other developed nation. But, as Frank Smyth shows, the NRA has evolved from an organization concerned above all with marksmanship ? and which supported most government efforts around gun...
