"Black conservative leaders discuss how the NRA was created to protect freed slaves"
While it is true that the first gun laws in America were enacted to protect the slaveholders from their recently freed slaves and to also allow the former slavers to attack their unarmed former slaves with impunity. It is not true that the NRA was created for that. The NRA was founded in the north (New York) by former Union Generals (such as Ambrose Burnside) who were appalled at the lack of marksmanship amongst their recruits during the Civil War. It was founded to promote and teach marksmanship skills to men who weren't shooting as much as their forefathers because so many of them now lived in cities.

All due respect ‘’Old Devil Dog’’ but can you provide evidence of that? If indeed that was the case certainly a by-product of the NRA was in doing just what this video explains.
