When Does The NRA Own The Problem It Helped Create?

I think most people would agree the ten people killed at a high school in Santa Fe, TX earlier today, which comes on the heels of five killed in Ponder, TX two days prior, which comes on the heels of… (well let’s just say the list goes on) is a problem, is it not?  Most if not all mass shootings are arguably caused by a mentally unstable individual, yet the NRA does not advocate funding for mental health; instead, the NRA seeks to repeal/reverse laws previously enacted that made it difficult to purchase a gun by a person who has been determined not mentally fit as evidenced by H.J.Res. 40, which became law on February 28, 2017. Additional anecdotal evidence to support my belief that the NRA helped create this problem is its actions of deniability.  Not once has the organization ever made a statement when a mass shooting like the one that occurred today that goes something like the following - "We at the NRA regret that guns were used  in such a senseless way creating destruction within the core fabric of our families, communities and Nation - the heart of America.  We find such actions unacceptable."

However, not all is lost with the NRA.  It may not know it, but the NRA recently demonstrated strong undeniable leadership for gun control. The NRA banned weapons at its own annual conference earlier this month.  It did so to ensure the safety of our President and Vice President. Yet, are we not all “created equal [and] … endowed by [our] Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness?”  We are! Therefore, if the ban on weapons is good for the President and Vice President then should it not apply to all, everywhere?  If not then what legislation do you propose?  If you are not willing to investigate, accept and promote sound legislation to ensure responsible gun ownership to protect our unalienable rights then maybe we should ban weapons, do you not agree?  I am for the former (legislation promoting responsible gun ownership), but if your against such measures then I believe you are the problem and we must ban weapons because our unalienable rights precede the Second Amendment.
