Aren't most gun owners in favor of better gun regulation and getting rid of the NRA?

At this point it is a political problem. People are all outraged over what is happening, and rightly so, but who are they supporting politically? Most presidential candidates in the past 20 years have all taken massive political donations from the gun industry, NRA and other political lobbyists that are making sure that gun sales stay up. How do we honestly expect any of those politicians to enact gun control legislation?

If you want change, it won't happen until you either remove the politicians that are bought and paid for, or remove the ability to buy them.
