As I understand it (because I haven't personally researched it), years ago the NRA made a concession to the Gun Control supporters and they took it and still wanted more.  So since the time, the NRA has taken a hard line, because they view the concessions as a slippery slope. the NRA says to enforce the laws that are on the book. But the problem is, there isn't enough law enforcement to do that and shoddy practices still go on. 

A lot of the things that the gun control lobby demands, in truth don't make any sense.  They want to ban assault rifles.  Assault rifles that are available for public sale are only semi-automatic (anything fully automatic requires a multitude of documents and very long approval process, because they are illegal), just like a hunting rifle.  So if you ban assault type weapons, you are effectively banning the guns that hunters use.  Another point is the extended magazines.  Most gun owners would probably concede that, but in in truth, it takes only seconds to change out a magazine for another.  Commercial gun transfers already require an FFL from a licensed gun dealer, but private transfers do not.  That is to say, if you go to a gun show and buy a gun, a background check will be done; however if you buy one from a guy in the parking lot, the background check does not happen.

It would be nice if both sides could find some common ground, but I don't see it happening any time soon. 

Funny as it may sound, I'm a bit more comfortable with open carry than concealed carry, but if someone is intent on killing, it hardly matters where his gun is located and I doubt all the bad guess that carry concealed have a legitmate consealed carry permit.  Those things are for the law abiding citizens.
