The National Rifle Assocation is drawing new fire over a new shooting app being offered online for free, even after the organization took aim at violent video games and blaming them for helping inspire 2012 mass shootings in Connecticut and Colorado.

Despite taking a position against violent video games, the gun rights organization has released a free shooting app for iPhones and iPads.

Security officer Kwanza Green tested it out, but was unimpressed.

"I don't think it would be consistant with being a good shot," said Green.

The app was a total misfire with some Apple product users. More than 700 people had signed a petition urging Apple to drop the app from the Apple Store as of 9 p.m. Tuesday evening.

The NRA is a major opponent of President Obama's push for gun control.

On Wednesday, the President will call on Congress to ban assault weapons and limit high-capacity clips like those used in the deadly Sandy Hook school shooting.

In addition, he will ask lawmakers to require background checks on all gun buyers.

President Obama said he doesn't know if he will be able to push the measures through Congress.

David Keene, the head of the NRA predicts failure.

"I would say the likelihood is that they are not going to be able to get an assault weapons ban through this Congress," said Keene.

New York lawmakers were successful in passing the toughest gun control law in the nation, which was signed into law by Governor Andrew Cuomo Tuesday.

It includes a tougher ban on assault weapons as well as restrictions on ammunition and the sale of guns.

"Let's at least learn from what happened. Let's at least be able say to people 'Yes, we went through terrible situations. But we saw. We learned. We responded and we acted,'" said Cuomo.

The President will be joined by school children who wrote him following the massacre in Newtown when he unveils his proposals aimed at preventing another such tragedy.
