NRA Not Pro-Gun Enough?

Perhaps sensing a backlash, the NRA is now asking the open carry enthusiasts in Texas to please tone it down before they ruin the Second Amendment for everyone. In a statement released Friday, the notorious pro-gun organization applauded the Lone Star State’s “robust gun culture,” but pointed out that ordering a burrito with an assault rifle slung across your chest is “just not neighborly.”

Yeah, it's kind of like with Hamas in Gaza. They risk losing an important constituency if they moderate their tone and try to deal with Israel; competitor groups will in that case rise up to fill in the gaps.
