Skeptical of the NRA

Craig Murray seems to think that the National Rifle Association (NRA) might not be entirely sincere in their official justifications for opposing gun laws (Arms and the Man 04/17/07).

There have been a series of American commentators popping up on the TV, explaining that the right to bear arms is necessary to guard against an over-mighty executive. The strange thing is that the US now has an over-mighty executive, which has completely unbalanced the famous separation of powers. As yet I see no sign of the NRA forming up to march on the White House.
