For the true account of how Democrats created the modern NRA, grab yourself a used copy of Restricting Handguns - The Liberal Skeptics Speak Out.

Interesting story. In a nutshell, FDR cynically attempted to distract attention from Prohibition by going after guns -- only to have Congress deluged by letters from gun owners. That stopped gun prohibition in its tracks. Of course today, lies re. "assault weapons", "gun show loopholes" etc. maintain the power of the NRA.

The entire chapter History of Handgun Prohibition is a great read. Every Democrat who is honestly interested in reducing gun violence in the U.S. should own this book......as well as others by liberal authors/scholars.
