Republican pollster Frank Luntz gathered a focus group of current and former NRA members in his California home to discuss the organization, gun regulations and what the country needs to do to keep students safe in their schools.

After the Parkland shooting in Florida which left 17 dead, there has been renewed scrutiny over gun laws in the United States, with many pushing for stricter control.

“These gun regulations are bogus,” said one N.R.A member. “The problem is it’s a cultural problem. How does that get solved? Values have to be reinstilled.”

“I’m saying that there’s certain guns that we shouldn’t have,” another panelist said, adding that mental evaluations were essential.

Almost all panelists agreed on expanding background checks, while one maintained that those are no guarantee against a possible future attack. “You don’t know if somebody is mentally unstable until they do something,” he said.
