We don't. The NRA didn't promote it or support it.

Chas.
I think this is a strong point, and one that should have been called out more effectively. They should take a more proactive stance at supporting efforts to repeal it, rather than carving out space for themselves. I understand _why_ the NRA did what it did, but what it looks like from the outside is the NRA using its power to carve out a position that's stronger than any other voice. I hope the NRA-ILA finds ways to stand behind what they've said about the first amendment and reach out and support institutions that don't have the same kind of clout.
