    Reminder that the NRA is a gun manufacturer trade organization. They don’t represent or even necessarily fight on behalf of gun owners. The reason that many gun owners are NRA members is because the NRA provides low-cost insurance for gun ranges, with the requirement that users must be in the NRA.

    On that note, if you do shoot: Seek out the minority of non-NRA ranges to do it at, find appropriate public land, or approved private property. Don’t patronize NRA-insured ranges.

      That’s so interesting. I’m not an avid shooter but I’ve been to a handful of ranges and it’s never even been asked of me.

    Ya’ll the NRA basically doesn’t exist anymore. They were all for trump but they embezzled themselves into nothingness.

      That said, I’d be surprised if the members who left the NRA went to join Giffords instead (pro-background checks organization).

      There’s plenty of other gun groups ready to exploit MAGA voters defend the second amendment.

      “Tyrant” for the common 2A crowd meant “Someone who seriously disrupts the status quo of patriarchal white supremacy. You know. Like a black woman”

      There’s a few out there who genuinely intend to use access to violence to protect their community from systemic violence. But that is a vast minority. I see a lot of lemmings thinking that the 2A crowd was speaking in good faith. They were not. And because of the political culture of America collapsing complex political spectrums into binaries that largely exist by virtue signaling, anyone who is against this should be presumed gunless, and anyone with a gun should be considered pro-this.

      Highly overlapping. Venn diagrams are mostly round.

    Now it’s important to know what they meant is black people taking over. They have no issue with a white nationalist authoritarian government.

    The NRA has never cared about supporting gun rights. All they care about is inserting themselves as the middle-man you’re required to pay before you’re allowed to exercise your second ammendment rights. They lobby exclusively for legislation that requires you to obtain training from one of their “licensed” instructors before being able to obtain a concealed carry permit. That’s all. Anyone who supports them is a clueless chud.
