Death is the ultimate violation of due process.  If an individual is denied the right to purchase a firearm, he or she has recourse and a right of appeal, while the dead have no recourse or right of appeal.  The NRA wrongly divides the conversation into pro-gun and anti-gun factions, which is convenient for gun advocates.   The NRA, in a complete reversal of policies held before Obama was elected, now opposes any rational conversation or common sense measures to prevent criminals, extremists, and terrorists, both foreign and domestic, from freely obtaining weapons and killing the rest of us.  The NRA supports the unlimited rights of the most dangerous among us (the majority of whom are "law abiding citizens" right up until the moment they snap), to obtain deadly weapons to use against me and you.
