I decline to give my opinion because I consider it embarrassing.
Ms. Sue
That would be my answer. However, a lot of us feel that the NRA has undue influence on Congress.
Sharon
Thank you again. I'm not very good with American Government.
Ms. Sue
You're very welcome.
Damon
You are welcome. I think on the average over the range of issues the bar has more influence. I personally resent all of these organizations and their influence.
