Like Vector said, the NRA has had a hand in many tidbits of gun legislation. The left don't really hate the NRA, because they know if they can make them bend, then they'll get ahead. It happens every time. Look at the B.S. with bump stocks. It was used in one mass shooting and now it's BAN BAN BAN! Get out of here with that.
EDIT: The world didn't even know what a bump stock was until Vegas. Now you have Dana all over the news stating "We fully support banning bump stocks." This is more dangerous than people know, because the ATF can't write a law banning bump stocks without banning things like match triggers, adjustable triggers, etcetera, because they could all be considered an apparatus that "increases the rate of fire." A bump stock doesn't turn a semi into full auto, just like a match trigger doesn't turn a bolt into a semi, but that's why ATF laws are so [beeep] tricky.
