    The NRA is a organization that is funded by donations. I have no problem with them using those donations to promote safety and marksmanship.

    I personally can’t fund the facilities that these activities take place in. Just like you most likely couldn’t fund a gymnasium or skate park. There are non profits who help provide funding for all these activities, 2A organizations are no different.

        Obviously you’ve never attended a firearms safely course or marksmanship course. I’ve attended sessions with all of my children.

        They never market fear and always seek to instill safety and marksmanship.

        You can wring your hands, fear monger and try to build a false narrative all you want. But you are just like the right wing religious nut jobs who attack sex education. Like them you’re just hurting society by trying to keep people ignorant.

        just like relig

          The NRA markets fear. It’s their sole purpose for existing. I don’t think they should be involved in firearms training whatsoever.

            As I stated in my original post there are a lot of things you can attack the NRA for. Firearm education and safety training is not one of them.
