The NRA has been going international for some time, I just seen Wayne's debate in England not too long ago. Your jumping to assumptions here thinking this is some multicultural jibe. There are also plenty of LEGAL immigrants here who do know english at a basic level but understand legalities a lot better in spanish. More likely though, it's to help people in other countries understand what we're doing here, Americans aren't the only people in the world with the right to bear arms and the NRA is the best at what they do so activist in other nations just might want to take a look at their site.

Don't bet on a French language section though :)

I respectfully disagree. If the NRA has time to get their message out in 16 different languages, so much the better. Educating people to the importance of the individual right to firearms ownership overrides any concern about immigration issues, pandering to illegals, etc.

Well, now. There are lots of US citizens who speak English well enough to get by, but do a lot better in Spanish. In addition, there is Puerto Rico, where everyone is a citizen of the USA, even though Spanish is the default language.

The NRA is not in the immigration business. It is in the business of helping insure that our 2nd Amendment rights are not infringed.

I'm sure there are real issues you might turn your attention to. This is not one of them. Apparently the NRA finds it worthwhile to address citizens for whom Spanish is better understood than English.

So does the White House.

The NRA was instrumental in trashing the gun grabbers try down in Brazil.

That was a Portuguese campaign.

The UN is coming, we need to engage the fight in all languages.

enough to legally own a firearm.

What age does the 2nd Amendment specify?

They need on in Portuguese for the people of Brazil as well. Chinese or French wouldn't be bad, either.
