I'll bet you most NRA members would applaud a secure southern border. The Republican party would back such an effort. Nobody disputes it would save lives. Why hasn't it been done? Because Obama wants reelection and will do nothing to soften his vote within the Hispanic community.

God bless Republicans, they want to cut costs so they suggest a 30 billion dollar border fence with an estimated maximum 20 year lifespan that has 6.5 billion a year in annual upkeep. So the cost cutting Republicans want to spend (in today's dollars) 160 Billion dollars on a fence, but they want to cut 2 million from the Minority Business Development Agency to balance the budget.
If you ever question a Republican on gun control, they always cite their undying belief in "freedom". Of course this belief in freedom is always suspended when it comes to fighting terrorists, then everyone's freedom gets curtailed because some guy tried to light his shoe on fire, or brought bad shampoo on a plane, or had a snow globes as a little boy. Only in the US of A is a snow globe banned on an airplane but a guy can grab a semi automatic gun at his local convenience store...80 year old ladies freedom to take a snow globe back home after Christmas to the family can be curtailed, but god forbid you stop a guy from getting the gun of his choice, that is a freedom all Republican lawmakers will fight for the gun freedom. But snow globe afficianados you are on your own, the Republican party will never stand with you in regards to your fight to take a snow globe with you on an airplane.
