For many years I was a member of the NRA
Quit when it became the NARANational Assault Rifle Ass
Basically, this was the same time as President Bush. He quit because it was clear the NRA had become the vile and virulently antigovernment organization which it remains today.
It is worthwhile to take the time to read the entire text of President Bushs letter resigning his life-time membership. This is available on Snopes

One might also consider that Wayne LaPierre, the particular target of his opprobrium, now leads the NARA. A quick interweb search will turn up information that LaPierre seems to know little of guns, is an appalling shot and an even worse hunter. Total tool.
Also, know this time was a pistol. Which is actually irrelevant. The problem is too many idiots with guns. However, if you look on the web, you'll find a lot of gun-nut sites claiming that this proves that "modern sporting rifles" (ie assault rifles) are not the problem. Nope, won't provide links, don't want to give them the clicks
