I know why they are there testifying for gun control and did not infer "nefarious purposes". I merely wondered who paid for their travel. You brought up the NRA in your argumentative response. When I replied, I had no way to know the other poster had been banned from the group.

Nice edit. The original version was a bit reactionary.
