Where's the NRA now?

This goes back to what I was saying in a previous post about people needing to understand the implications of gun ownership: a 14-year-old Lexington boy died when he and his friend we playing with a shotgun. This child's death would not have happened had there not been a gun in the house or if the gun had been properly secured.

Now both families will have to live with the ripples of this unnecessary death for the rest of their lives: the family of the dead child as well as the family whose gun they were playing with and the poor friend who will always have to live with being in such close proximity the gruesome death of his friend.

Think the NRA is sending reps to comfort these families? I doubt it.
