1. The NRA was hijacked by the GUN NUTs...

In March 2012, the Indiana GOP passed an Amendment to their Castle Doctrine that literally allows civilians to kill police officers ... and any other "public servant" that a person feels is entering their home "unlawfully."

It turns out, the Bills author, Republican State Sen. R. Michael Young, is extremely paranoid which makes him easy to be bought by the NRA.

Young said that before his Cop-Killing Bill, "there was no right to reasonably resist unlawful entry by police officers."

NRA-owned Rep Young said, he devised the idea for the law after an Indiana Supreme court ruling that the NRA did not like.

The "unfavorable court decision" that the NRA did not like and had their pawn Young write their Cop-Killer Bill for was the 2011 Indiana Supreme Court decision that upheld a Class A misdemeanor battery of a man who assaulted a police officer when the officer entered the man's apartment while responding to a domestic-violence call from the man's wife.
