- The NRA has accepted and supported many reasonable limits. For example, the ban on automatic weaponsNT NedoftheHill 9:19pm · 8/11/19
  - Back then they were a sportsman’s group. Of course they weren’t in favor of full military weapons. Frank L 9:26pm · 8/11/19
    - And they still are not in favor of civilian ownership of full military weapons like M-16s. NedoftheHill 9:35pm · 8/11/19
      - Well that sure shows reasonableness. I take it they are against bazookas and BAR’s also? Frank L 9:52pm · 8/11/19
        
        Yes, they do oppose machine guns. As I said, they are far more limiting than Switzerland.NT NedoftheHill 9:54pm · 8/11/19
